Quark Expeditions – Firsts in the Polar Regions While that first journey solidified Quark Expeditions’ role as the leader in polar adventure, Quark has continued to achieve new firsts and is forever driven to forge new paths in polar explorations. Polar expeditions have evolved since Quark Expeditions’ 1991 journey aboard the nuclear-powered icebreaker Sovetskiy Soyuz. Quark has spent the last three decades taking travelers on polar expeditions to remote parts of the Arctic and Antarctic where no one else has set foot. That inaugural, game-changing expedition-the first-ever tourism transit of the Northeast Passage-set Quark Expeditions on a course that would put us at the forefront of polar exploration. Lars Wikander and Mike McDowell, the cofounders of Quark Expeditions, took the first group of commercial travelers to the North Pole In 1991.
