The Polar Plunge is an exhilarating highlight of every Quark Expeditions voyage, offering adventurous travelers the chance to dive into the icy polar waters. Scheduled once during the journey, the plunge takes place at a carefully selected location based on optimal conditions. Participants wear tethered harnesses and leap from a Zodiac or the gangway, cheered on by fellow passengers and the Expedition Team.
Safety is paramount, with an onboard physician present and guides in survival gear monitoring the area in Zodiacs during the event. The Polar Plunge is not just a thrilling experience but also a memorable tradition, allowing travelers to embrace the extreme beauty of the polar regions.
