Highlights
Quark Expeditions has brought more travelers to the remote, 8,000-strong Emperor penguin colony at Snow Hill than any other operator. In fact, we were the first company to do so in 2004. Our 14–day “Emperor Penguin Quest: Expedition to Snow Hill” is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that delivers one of the most jaw-dropping wildlife experiences imaginable. Bonus: two heli-flightseeing and one heli-landing are included. Our technologically advanced Ultramarine was built for this type of challenging journey. Trust us to get you there.
