The world’s most remote and pristine places are waiting for you.

Dear Traveler,

“ I HAD A DREAM WHEN I WAS 22 THAT SOMEDAY I WOULD GO TO THE REGION OF ICE AND SNOW AND GO ON AND ON TILL I CAME TO ONE OF THE POLES OF THE EARTH.” Ernest Shackleton

Expedition travel by nature is for curious people who want to actively explore these pristine environments, embrace the unexpected and have amazing personal encounters with untamed wildlife at its best. For almost 25 years, Quark has been taking passengers on expeditions to two of the most extraordinary and inaccessible regions in the world.

Traveling with Quark means you’ll be accompanied by like-minded adventurers and led by a passionate veteran expedition team who will enrich your understanding, ensure you get the most of your experience and have amazing memories to share.

As you prepare for your expedition, be sure to pack your sense of adventure along with a flexible attitude. We know the Quark Expeditions experience will both exceed your expectations and possibly even give you a whole new perspective on life.

As always, I encourage anyone with questions, comments or suggestions to contact me directly at Hans.Lagerweij@QuarkExpeditions.com.

Safe and happy travels,

Hans Lagerweij President, Quark Expeditions

Adventure Options Kayaking

Space is limited.

Book early!

Imagine gliding along the surface of a bay in the presence of icebergs and glaciers! Our kayaking adventures are the best way to feel at one with the sea. Taken in small groups of 10-16 people, multiple times per voyage, kayaking adventures are only done during calm weather conditions. We require you to have some prior kayaking experience, including the capability to do a wet exit.

Cross-Country Skiing Cross-country skiing is one of the most efficient ways to travel on snow-covered ground, enabling you to experience Antarctica the same way that pioneering explorers like Amundsen and Shackleton did.

With journeys taking a few hours, it is imperative to be in good physical shape. Ideally, you’ll have cross-country skiing experience to partake in this activity, however exceptions may be made for those deemed physically capable.

Per person: $575 Antarctic only For more information visit QuarkExpeditions.com/US415

Per person: $595 Arctic / $950 Antarctic For more information visit QuarkExpeditions.com/US412

OCEAN DIAMOND COMBO: Kayaking & camping package available on the Ocean Diamond

Mountaineering Geared towards our more adventurous passengers, mountain climbing in Antarctica is among the most rewarding and addicting outdoor endeavors.

To climb in Antarctica is a special memory that will last forever. Our mountaineering adventures are full-day activities that can last up to 5 hours and require you to complete a fitness waiver to participate in this challenging option.

INCLUDED OPTIONS ON SELECT VOYAGES (Antarctic only)

Snowshoeing A novel way to experience the beauty of the Polar landscape, and to discover remote alcoves and hidden valleys. Walking atop the snow, we’ll be able to visit new places that are inaccessible on foot.

This traditional means of transport across the deep snow comes from the indigenous people of North America. While you can appreciate a connection with the past, the snowshoes we use today are much lighter and more forgiving than the old wood-weave snowshoes used during the days of the North American fur trade.

For more information visit QuarkExpeditions.com/US416

Photography Antarctica is one of the most incredibly photogenic destinations in the world. Penguins amble across pebbled beaches, whales spy-hop from the blue sea and sparkling icebergs tower in this serene, yet dramatic environment.

Whether you own a serious SLR or a simple point-andshoot, our on-board photography expert provides you with hands-on instruction and technical tips to ensure that you capture the best of your Antarctic experience.
