Sven Lindblad, the Traveler Behind Undulambia Lindbladi
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 07.18.06 | 11:00 AM ET
We recently interviewed travel writer Jason Wilson about the three dishes named after him around the world. Now, Matt Elzweig of the New York City weekly paper Our Town downtown has interviewed Sven Lindblad, who is not only the well-traveled president and founder of Lindblad Expeditions, but a man with an insect named after him in the Galapagos—a highly enviable feat. Elzweig chats him up about travel, expeditions and, of course, Undulambia lindbladi.

Wow. Hats off to Mr. Lindblad. Having an insect named after yourself is a whole different realm of accomplishment. Now that is something truly special. We’re all trumped by that one.

Oh Jason, you’re just being humble. When he has three insects named after him in three different countries he might begin to compete with you and your accomplishment.
