ARCTIC SEABIRD MONITORING In 2025, Quark Expeditions welcomed the High Arctic Gull Research Group aboard Ultramarine to conduct at-sea bird surveys in remote Svalbard. Testing new methods, the team—including Quark Expeditions staff—collected data from previously unsurveyed areas, expanding baseline knowledge of Arctic gulls and other offshore seabirds. Access to Ultramarine enabled researchers to reach rarely traveled waters, broadening spatial coverage and informing future research. The partnership also allowed researchers to share findings with guests, building awareness and support for seabird conservation.
