Quark Expeditions, the global Leader in Polar Adventures, has launched "Tundra 
to Table," the expedition industry's first exclusive Inuit culinary experience 
available on select Arctic 2022 and 2023 voyages.

"Quark Expeditions has had the honor of traveling to the Inuit homelands of 
Greenland and Nunavut for 30 years," says Alex McNeil, Director of Expedition 
Experience and Innovation for Quark Expeditions. "And for more than a decade 
I've had the pleasure, as a member of the Quark Expeditions team, of visiting 
these regions and developing meaningful relationships in local communities. 
These relationships have inspired us to provide this platform, Tundra to Table: 
Inuit Culinary Experience, for Inuit chefs in the Arctic to showcase their 
cuisine and culture of Greenland and Nunavut. The ultimate purpose of this 
culinary experience is to support local chefs as they share the stories of 
their people through food."

Among the highlights of "Tundra to Table: Inuit Culinary Experience":

    -- Guests will savor food in its purest, most natural state.
       At the heart of this experience is the purity of the ingredients, such
       as seafood caught fresh from the Arctic waters, and free-roaming game 
       that consume naturally organic grass and vegetation. The types of dishes 
       that could be served during this on-ship experience include: beer-
       braised muskox served with Greenlandic mashed potatoes, mushroom sauce 
       and berry jam; South Greenlandic lamb served with pommes Anna (layers of 
       sliced potatoes), sweet turnip ragu, pickled angelica and wild gravy; 
       honey-glazed ptarmigan served with turnip purée; and pickled halibut 
       served with lumpfish dip and bread.

 
    -- Program hosted by Inuit chefs who are experts in Indigenous cuisine.
       Guests will enjoy modern Inuit fusion-style cuisine with dishes 
       reflecting the culinary traditions of the region of their voyage, 
       whether it's muskox in Greenland or Arctic char in Nunavut. Local chefs 
       will share the story of their people through the food they prepare.
       
 
    -- It's the only Inuit culinary experience of its kind.Quark Expeditions is 
       the only polar operator to offer this kind of culinary collaboration 
       with local Inuit chefs, which will only be available on select Arctic 
       2022 and 2023 voyages.

Quark Expeditions will introduce another culinary-related opportunity starting 
in the Arctic 2022 season. Guests will have the opportunity, on select voyages, 
to accompany Inuit chefs as they forage in the wild. During select hiking 
excursions led by Quark Expeditions team members, Inuit chefs will accompany 
the group and share foraging insights, talk about Arctic plant species, and 
explain how they're used in traditional Inuit cuisine. The chefs will collect 
small amounts of plants and herbs to use in the onboard Inuit dining 
experience.
