Quark Expeditions has introduced a groundbreaking travel experience with its new “Antarctica by Helicopter: Icebergs, Mountains, and Remote Lands” itinerary. This comprehensive 12-day journey leverages the advanced technology of the Ultramarine vessel and its twin-engine helicopters to explore some of the most secluded areas of the Antarctic Peninsula, including Antarctic Sound, Erebus and Terror Gulf, and the Weddell Sea.
Guests on this all-inclusive expedition will benefit from exceptional aerial views of Antarctica, featuring a minimum of two helicopter flightseeing excursions and one helicopter landing, all included in the package. In addition to helicopter experiences, participants will engage in zodiac rides and land excursions to further explore the icy landscapes. Onboard, the itinerary includes briefings and lectures from top experts in fields such as glaciology, penguinology, and marine biology. Additional amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi and bar service.
The itinerary promises a comprehensive exploration of the less-visited eastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula, providing a unique perspective from air, land, and sea. Guests will have the opportunity to view tabular icebergs that have broken off from some of Antarctica’s largest ice shelves, visit Adélie penguin colonies at Brown Bluff, Devil Island, or Paulet Island, and search for wildlife, including whales and Emperor Penguins amidst the floating ice.
