Welcome to Quark Expeditions:
celebrating 17 Years
For the past 17 years Quark Expeditions has led the way in polar adventure. In that time, our fascination with the last unexplored frontiers has grown steadily deeper. From our landings on little-known shores to our first passenger circumnavigation of the Antarctic continent, we've carried on the spirit of the great explorers while sharing our passion for regions whose environmental sanctity must be protected.
