Why Travel to Greenland with Quark Expeditions
Greenland will forever change your view of the Arctic! 🇬🇱
For the last 23 years, our team has been on a never-ending quest to discover the most unique guest experiences in Greenland's deep fjords, remote coasts, alpine lakes, snow-capped mountains, and ice-covered landscapes. It’s our pleasure to showcase the best of Greenland and the many different ways you can explore it with Quark Expeditions.
Encounter a mix of Ancient and Contemporary Cultures as you explore Norse and Viking ruins, and experience contemporary Greenland through community visits, cultural festivals, and food.
Equally mesmerizing are the monumental ice forms: the Greenland Ice Sheet—which you can visit by helicopter—towering icebergs and alpine glaciers high up in the mountains.
Expect surreal landscapes beyond anything you ever imagined: 2,000-metre rock faces, a 70-km steep-walled fjord, and geological formations that look like abstract art.
Plus, spell-binding light unseen anywhere else: the multi-colored Northern Lights, icebergs illuminated from within, moonlit ice, and sunrises and sunsets that steal your breath away.

Guest Review: Brian C., Arctic 2022 Season
Brian readily admits he’s got the polar bug. For his fourth polar voyage with Quark Expeditions, he chose the Canadian High Arctic.
“Canada was an area I hadn’t been to, so I wanted to explore this part of the world. Being a solo traveler is very convenient. There are lots of people to interact with, both other travelers and the expedition team who are just so professional,” says Brian, who also loved the “chance to walk across completely alien landscapes” and interact with locals in Arctic communities.
You can still book your Arctic 2024 voyage while berths are available.

Why Travel to the High Canadian Arctic with Quark Expeditions
The vast Canadian High Arctic is an unexplored domain of endless glaciers, mountains, tundra, and towering granite cliffs. It is home to various iconic wildlife, such as muskox, beluga, and polar bear.
To truly explore this Arctic wilderness, you need to travel with an operator who will take you deeper into the region than anyone else.
At Quark Expeditions, we go where others simply can’t. Our guests experience the Canadian High Arctic by water, land, and air – thanks to Ultramarine’s two twin-engine helicopters.
This is home to Inuit people who’ve hunted, fished, nurtured cultural traditions, and co-existed with the wildlife for thousands of years. Traveling here allows guests to witness how the Inuit preserve their way of life.
We work closely with local partners to ensure the best experiences for our guests—and the Indigenous people who invite us to their homes.
Our Cultural Education program enables you to immerse yourself in Inuit culture and traditions.
Our expedition team – the best in the industry – will guide you on a journey you will never forget.
History is brought to life as you explore the same landscapes and waterways of legendary explorers who navigated the fabled Northwest Passage.
Join us on the journey of a lifetime. Experience the boundless beauty and intrigue of the Canadian High Arctic.
