The Antarctic is Waiting To Be Explored.
Antarctica, at times an unforgiving continent marked by harsh temperatures and rugged terrain, is home to a rich diversity of wildlife that inhabits the glaciers, mountains, bays, fjords, inlets, pebble beaches, and rugged coastlines. To experience the Antarctic Peninsula is to witness minke and humpback whales at close range, and to gaze upon icebergs of every conceivable shape and size in the bays, fjords, and inlets. Visitors can observe penguin colonies, or stand in awe at the sight (and sounds) of mammoth glaciers calving. The sub-Antarctic destinations of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia are also not to be missed. Both islands are known as meccas for wildlife with epic displays of animals congregating by the thousands.
While exploring the Antarctic with Quark Expeditions you'll have the opportunity to experience their pioneering vessel, Ultramarine. This purpose-built vessel is designed to extend the boundaries of polar exploration and offer an unmatched Antarctic experience, including a flightseeing tour you’ll never forget and a range of adventure options more extensive than any other ship in its class.

Such wildlife moments are too precious for words!
