❓Did you know❓There are 5 different ecotypes of orcas in the Southern Ocean - type A, type B1, type B2, type C, and type D.

The term "ecotype" recognizes that despite being the same species, each orca type has distinct appearances as well as habitat and dietary preferences that make them unique.

Anyone in New York City or planning to go before July 13, 2024? Put the New York Public Library on your 'must see list' to see their Exhibit "The Awe of the Arctic: A Visual History" on until July 13, 2024. If you've been...let us know what you think! We haven't been yet but one of our New York customers passed on this awesome find that she stumbled on today while on a walk. Love those moments!

❓Did you know❓Scientists describe penguins as "fusiform" shaped. This means that they are narrower at both ends than they are in the middle, like an American football. 🏈🐧

A fusiform body plan, also called torpedo-shaped, is an adaptation for swimming more efficiently underwater.

Did you know...? Unlike the brush-tailed penguins (Adélie, Chinstrap, and Gentoo), Emperor penguins only lay one egg per breeding season. We think this little one is probably more than enough to keep these parents busy! 🐧

Where and how can I see narwhal?

It's one of the top questions we get for Arctic wildlife experiences. Not a problem! We have snorkeled, dove, led film crews, and used helicopters to film/photograph them.

A mystical whale with its long unicorn-like tusk (which is actually a tooth) and one of the most elusive whales to find, they are the holy grail for many cetacean lovers to see one in the wild.

Step 1) You need to get to the Canadian Northwest Passage.
Step 2) Pick how and when. You can go in June on a floe edge trip on the sea ice (but that's another post), or you can go in August/September on an Expedition Cruise.

Most people will select an Expedition cruise where most viewing may occur from a zodiac and there's a good chance of seeing whales this way. However, if you want to increase the likelihood of seeing Narwhal (and Beluga) on an Expedition cruise it helps immensely to have helicopters.

Quark Expeditions includes flightseeing for all guests on their 2 x H-145 helicopters on its itineraries to the Northwest Passage on the Ultramarine- Helicopters can increase the chances of finding and seeing whales including Narwhal respectively from a distance without disturbing them.

Quark Expeditions is currently offering 50% off on remaining cabins on 19 and 9-day August/September 2024 Northwest Passage itineraries. Includes roundtrip flights from Calgary or Toronto to Resolute.
July 31 - Aug 18, 2024: Explorer Suite $13,642.50pp (Regular $25,290)
Sept 2 - 10 2024 Explorer Suite $6,792 (Regular $11,590)
