Sarah Thornton | Operations & Marketing

Born in the USA, Sarah visited South America for the first time when studying abroad in university. She returned shortly after and spent 5 years there, based in Santiago but travelling often. She fell in love with Torres del Paine National Park, learnt the language and tried as much food on the continent as possible.

She has yet to visit Antarctica herself. However, she manages our website and knows as much about the voyages, ship specifications and seasonality as anyone on the team!
