Antarctic Majesty Meets Eco-Pioneer: Why Quark Expeditions’ Ultramarine Blew Me Away

When you set sail for the world’s most pristine and remote regions, like the majestic Antarctic Southern Ocean, the last thing you want to feel is that your journey is harming the environment you’ve traveled so far to see.

I recently returned from an incredible voyage on Quark Expeditions‘ new ship, the Ultramarine, and I have to tell you, I was floored. This isn’t just a vessel; it’s a floating testament to what sustainable expedition cruising can be. While the ship’s architecture is stunning, its commitment to the planet is what truly stole the show – well apart from getting us to Snow Hill and the emperor penguin colony that is!

From Cherry-Garrard’s Agony to the Ultramarine’s Comfort: My Antarctic Eve

I’ve just turned the final page, closed the cover, and let out a deep, shivery breath. The book? Apsley Cherry-Garrard’s The Worst Journey in the World. And the timing couldn’t be more profound.

Why? Because in just a few days, I am heading to Antarctica. I’ll be boarding the Quark Expeditions vessel, the state-of-the-art Ultramarine, and sailing into the notoriously icy Weddell Sea with one singular goal: to hopefully witness the majestic Emperor Penguins.

Four Countries. Four Selections.

It’s Semi-Finalist Week – for ‘ANTARCTICA. A Life Changing Experience’

Four selections this week! It’s obviously ‘Film Festival’ season right now as they are coming into Bruno’s inbox thick and fast. And what a gift that is for the environment.

This second film is longer than the first, more of a documentary and using much of the video footage that we took on our expedition to South Georgia Island and Antarctica. Funny though, as I looked back searching through our photographs and video’s for good footage for the film, I realised that IF I had known that I would be writing and making short films back then, I would have done things differently. Well, I guess who wouldn’t.

First Nomination for ‘A Life Changing Experience’

Am thrilled to announce, our ‘ANTARCTICA. A Life Changing Experience’, short film has been selected for the Barcelona International Environmental Film Festival in November. 

As you may know, this is our second film, a little longer, more of a documentary and using much of the video footage that we took on our expedition to South Georgia Island and Antarctica.

It’s all about maximising the reach of the messages in the film for us.  And to know that we can actively promote organisations that are protecting the Antarctic regions and our Southern Ocean.

That’s what makes this selection particularly exciting…..
