Greenland & the Canadian ArcticGo from the single largest island in the world,

to the tens of thousands in the Canadian Arctic,

and take in the history and beauty of these magical

Northern wonderlands. In the glow of the early

summer’s continuous daylight, Arctic culture busies

your camera, and on a clear fall’s night, the green,

yellow and white of the Northern Lights (Aurora

borealis) entertain above.

SpitsbergenSpitsbergen is the quintessential Arctic destination

and the perfect Arctic jumping off point. Where polar

bears hunt on ice, walrus bob in the water and puffi ns

soar in the sky. Continuous daylight off ers travelers

endless opportunities to explore this magical land,

while nunataks poking out of the ice-covered

mountains guide you along your journey.

most rewarding and addicting outdoor endeavors.

To climb in Antarctica is a special memory that

will last forever. Our mountaineering adventures

are full-day activities that can last up to 5 hours

and require you to complete a fi tness waiver to

participate in this challenging option.

Per person: $575 Antarctic only

Cross-Country SkiingCross-country skiing is one of the most effi cient ways

to travel on snow-covered ground, enabling you to

experience Antarctica the same way that pioneering

explorers like Amundsen and Shackleton did.

With journeys taking a few hours, it is imperative

to be in good physical shape. Ideally, you’ll have

cross-country skiing experience to partake in this

activity, however exceptions may be made for those

deemed physically capable.

Per person: $575 Antarctic only

QuarkExpeditions.com/US415

PhotographyAntarctica is one of the most incredibly photogenic

destinations in the world. Penguins amble across

pebbled beaches, whales spy-hop from the blue sea and

sparkling icebergs tower in this serene, yet dramatic

environment.

Whether you own a serious SLR or a simple point-and-

shoot, our on-board photography expert provides you

with hands-on instruction and technical tips to ensure

that you capture the best of your Antarctic experience.

CampingLooking for an intimate and personal way

to connect with the Antarctic continent?

Who can say they’ve slept on the 7th continent?

Treat yourself to an overnight camping adventure and

seize the opportunity to sleep under the midnight sun

and revel in the silence of the land. Our popular camping

options are limited to 30 people on our expeditions,

60 on board the Ocean Diamond.

Per person: $250 Antarctic only

SnowshoeingA novel way to experience the beauty of the Polar

landscape, and to discover remote alcoves and hidden

valleys. Walking atop the snow, we’ll be able to visit

new places that are inaccessible on foot.

This traditional means of transport across the deep

snow comes from the indigenous people of North

America. While you can appreciate a connection with

the past, the snowshoes we use today are much lighter

and more forgiving than the old wood-weave snowshoes

used during the days of the North American fur trade.
