Explore the Polar Wilderness with Quark Expeditions

Once-in-a-lifetime wilderness experiences with Quark Expeditionsโ€™ polar-obsessed team are unrivalled: one moment, youโ€™re witnessing a humpback whale breach the ocean surface while on a Zodiac cruise, and the next youโ€™re soaring over a tabular iceberg the size of six football fieldsโ€”in a twin-engine helicopter.

The best expedition momentsโ€”Antarctic or Arcticโ€”are unplanned. But itโ€™s not all up to happenstance. Having focused on the polar regions exclusively since 1991, the Quark Expeditionsโ€™ team members are the leading experts. Theyโ€™re constantly innovating to create new, one-of-a-kind itineraries and off-ship excursionsโ€”from helicopter adventures to camping.

That commitment to innovation is evident in the Antarctic 2025/2026 season, which features the brand-new 12-day โ€œAntarctica by Helicopter: Icebergs, Mountains and Remote Lands.โ€ This cutting-edge itinerary explores the interior of the 7th Continent, Erebus and Terror Gulf, Antarctic Sound and the Weddell Sea. The trip includes one heli-landing and two heli-flightseeing excursions per guest.
