Antarctic Peninsula Expeditions
Antarctic Peninsula Highlights
Antarctic Wildlife
Home to a remarkable diversity of wildlife, the Antarctic Peninsula features thousands of penguins alongside an array of other species such as whales, seals, albatrosses, and various seabirds.
Untamed Wilderness
Cruise past towering icebergs on a zodiac, set foot on pristine white snow, and fly over massive mountains. This is one of the world’s last truly untouched wildernesses, ready for you to explore.
The Drake Passage
The legendary and historically significant 1,000
km body of water between the tip of South America and the Antarctic Peninsula is famous for the “Drake Shake” due to the large swells and strong winds.

Why Quark Expeditions?
For over 30 years, we have brought our passion for these regions to every experience our customers have, on-ship and off. Our team is the best in the business – and it shows.
Whether on-ship, in a helicopter, on a zodiac, kayak or bike, camping, hiking or immersing in a local cuisine or culture, we’ll let you see more, get closer and feel the thrill of polar discovery.
We were the first to do it, and we continue to take that innovative approach today, from industry-first itineraries to the most remote locations, to helicopter exploration and beyond.
In such extreme locations, experience matters. Even when mother nature doesn’t cooperate, our expedition leaders know where to go, what to see and how to give you the greatest polar adventure.
