kapitan khlebnikov
One of four Sorokin-class icebreakers built
to escort merchant marine flotillas through
the pack ice of the Russian Arctic, Khlebnikov
became an expedition vessel in 1991.
Since that date, the icebreaker has earned a reputation
unequalled by any other expedition vessel. The flydeck
affords 360° views, providing the perfect platform
for photography, bird watching or appreciating the
extraordinary landscapes of the polar regions.

WONDROUS COLD:
AN ANTARCTIC JOURNEY
In her extraordinary photography, Joan Myers captures the
majestic beauty of Antarctica. Her work documents the
haunting beauty and the rare wildlife of these remote regions.
She also, perhaps most powerfully, captures the spirit of
curiosity and perseverance that drew past explorers and
continues to draw adventurous and remarkable people to
The White Continent.
At Quark Expeditions, we understand that spirit. We’re
proud to sponsor Wondrous Cold: An Antarctic Journey
in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling
Exhibition Service.
The exhibition opened at the Smithsonian’s National
Museum of Natural History in May 2006 and will tour the
US through 2010. We invite you to visit the exhibit when it
comes to a community near you. For dates and locations,
visit www.sites.si.edu. A companion book is available in
bookstores everywhere.
