Exploring the Arctic


The Arctic is one of the few places in the world untouched by pollution where you
can see nature at its wildest and most beautiful. Join our ship the Northern Star
from 2 to 18 July, for a 17-day voyage to the Arctic. During the voyage you are
able to relax and get away from it all. There are no parties or film-shows to
attend, quizzes to enter, or entertainers to watch. However, we do have
specialists on board who are willing to answer any of your questions about the
Arctic and who will talk about the animals and birds that you see on the trip.




After setting off from Scotland, we go north along the coast of Norway to Bear
Island. Along the way you'll see thousands of seabirds and wonderful scenery,
with rivers of ice and huge cliffs. You will have the chance to see reindeer,
polar bears, and other Arctic animals. Although we have a timetable, experience
has shown that we may have to change our direction a little, depending on the
weather and on which animals appear.


The Northern Star is a very special ship and our past voyages have been very
popular. Our cabins all have the same excellent facilities, which include a
private bathroom and refrigerator. Our chefs are happy to prepare any food for
people on special diets. Choose just what you want to eat from the wide variety
available from the dining room buffet. There is a library, shop, clinic and
plenty of space for relaxation. If you need some exercise, why not go jogging
every morning around the decks, or do some swimming in the indoor pool.


Prices include economy class air travel and 16 nights on board the Northern Star,
all meals and excursions and all lectures.

Please read the text about behaviors on airplane and answer
questions 1-8.

Air rage
is the current expression for aggressive or disruptive behavior of
airline passengers. It comes from the term
road rage,
used to describe drivers
whose rude and hostile attitude toward others can lead to serious accidents or
violence.

Major airlines are becoming increasingly concerned about air rage and are
training their staff to deal with it. At the same time, they are introducing
tougher policies and supporting legislation that will allow local police to arrest
offenders when they land. A special agreement, known as the 1963 Tokyo Convention,
allows for the arrest of troublesome passengers on landing, even if they are not
citizens of that country and did not technically commit a crime there.

The problem of air rage may start before passengers even board the plane and
may become worse on board. Reasons for air rage include heavy traffic on the way
to the airport, long check-in lines, the amount of alcohol available both in the
waiting area and given out free on board the plane, and strict enforcement of no-
smoking laws at the airport and on the flight itself.

Airline staff are trained to spot a potential troublemaker and to deal with
violent behavior by talking to the person. For more serious cases, handcuffs and
straitjackets are kept on board, although these are used only
as a last resort
.
Fortunately, incidents involving serious violence are rare, but air rage is
increasingly becoming an issue of concern for all airlines.

Please read the following article about men who hunt for birds’
nests in caves in Thailand, and then answer questions 1-9 in your
own words on a separate answer sheet.


The Nest Hunters of Tam Yai

Swiftlets are shy birds that make their nests in the remotest corners of deep
caves. They have the ability to fly fast and straight like arrows around the
interior of the cave walls. Like some other birds, they build their nests with
their saliva, the juicy liquid from their own mouths. This juice hardens quickly
to make a
small nest, shaped like a cup. These nests are called “white gold”,
because they can be sold for thousands of dollars in the Chinese food markets. It
is these nests for which the hunters of Tam Yai are prepared to risk their lives.

Tam Yai cave in southern Thailand is the largest network of caves inside a
limestone mountain, known as
Suwan Kuha, meaning “cave temple”. It has
been
given this name because it contains a large area decorated with statues of Buddhas.
High above the statues, in the far corners of the cave complex, is where the nests
are to be found.

The nest hunters climb barefoot up dangerous bamboo poles hundreds of metres
above the ground to collect these valuable nests. They rarely use safety equipment,
and if they fall, they will die instantly. These nests can only be reached by the
bravest and most skilled climbers, and they are often only able to reach the
highest nests with the aid of a stick and a net.
