In 1991, Lars Wikander and Mike McDowell were two adventurers with a dream of visiting one of the few places on Earth they hadn’t explored: The North Pole. Once there, they were struck by its pristine beauty and inspired to share their experience with fellow explorers. Not long after this pioneering journey, Quark Expeditions launched with the first-ever tourist transit of the Northeast Passage.

Today, Quark Expeditions is uncompromisingly polar, specializing in expeditions to Antarctica and the Arctic and has been the leading provider of polar adventure travel for over 25 years. With a diverse fleet of specially-equipped small expedition vessels, icebreakers, and unique land-based adventures, we offer travelers unparalleled access to the most remote places on earth. The spirit of exploration runs deep in our polar pedigree and we are passionate about creating transformational experiences for fellow adventurers visiting these regions.
