Hans Lagerweij is the President of Quark Expeditions, the leader in polar travel. As you may know my daughter and I traveled with Quark last fall to Snow Hill Island, Antarctica (below is a photo I took of some fellow travelers in a Zodiac boat near Devil Island).

The trip was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced; a majestic, inspiring sojourn that made me  long for another polar “plunge”.
In our discussion, Hans offers many insights as to what inspired the company and where he sees Quark heading. There are also many tips for for people that may be considering a polar journey.
I hope you enjoy our discussion. (And if the player does not work – simply click here.)
