The Polar Ambassador Program
Polar Ambassadors are Quark Expeditions travelers or web site visitors, who, inspired by the beauty of the polar regions, become actively involved in the conservation and protection of the Arctic and Antarctica. Polar Ambassadors educate others every time they share pictures, web pages and stories about their adventures or dreams.
Polar Ambassadors understand that the polar regions are a bellwether for the health of the planet. By taking action to protect the unique biological and geological attributes, they are fulfilling the highest purpose of this program.
