Abundant Wildlife

Teeming with life, the Canadian Arctic is home to some of the most wonderous animals in the Arctic. Polar bears, arctic foxes, muskoxen, whales, seals and many species of migratory birds are just some of the species we often encounter on our expeditions.
Inuit Communities

Inuit Communities

Amidst breathtaking landscapes, vibrant indigenous communities dot the Canadian Arctic. Deeply rooted in the land, with rich histories, they welcome you into their communities to share their customs, cuisine and ways of life.  

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.
