Tanquary Fjord: Western Ellesmere Island

Departure: August 03, 2010
Rate Range: $13,990 to $23,990

Witness breath-taking beauty on the western shore of Ellesmere Island. This will be the final expedition to remote Tanquary Fjord made by our icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov. The ship retires as an expedition vessel in March 2012. The End of an Era has begun.

When the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) decided to produce a sequel to Planet Earth - Frozen Planet - the filmmakers turned to Quark Expeditions for logistical support. As a result, a BBC film crew will be shooting footage aboard this expedition. During the voyage, the film crew will work in conjunction with landing operations and deliver presentations and show dailies - raw footage captured during each day's filming. The dailies will be filmed with the technology that enables the BBC's Natural History Unit to capture never-before-seen footage of wildlife in their natural habitat.
