It was a real treat to be ‘Standing among the Emperors.’ Hundreds and hundreds of them. Arguably the most amazing bird on the planet. Expedition Leader Shane was a pro. I loved chatting with all manner of staff experts. They taught me a ton!” — GARY K., SNOW HILL, 2023
Your Expedition Team
In 2004, the Quark Expeditions team became the first to visit the Emperor penguin colony at Snow Hill Island. Since then, our Expedition Team has brought more people to Snow Hill than anyone else in the industry. In 2023 alone, they succeeded in bringing 208 guests to Snow Hill on two separate voyages. They were led by veteran Expedition Leader Shane Evoy, who has made 19 successful Snow Hill landings in his career—perhaps more than anyone else on the planet! Our Expedition Leaders and their teams bring diverse expertise in subjects as varied as polar history, marine biology, glaciology, ornithology and photography. Their knowledge and enthusiasm will greatly enhance your immersion into the polar environment and further deepen your connection to the Antarctic. With over 32 years of experience bringing passengers to remote polar regions and an industry-leading staff-to-guest ratio, we know how to safely handle the unexpected. Ensuring this hard-earned experience is passed on, all our expedition staff receive comprehensive training in Quark Academy, which provides hands-on polar expedition training prior to any staff member’s first voyage as well as ongoing training for experienced staff.
