An online Polar Boutique store was opened in March by the polar-adventure-travel company Quark Expeditions (Seattle, WA; 888/978-5722, https://shop.quark
expeditions.com).
The shop sells Arctic clothing as well as T-shirts, caps and small gifts. Among products are the Quark Parka ($350 and previously available only to those on Quark’s trips) and, for men or women, the Polar Gear Package, with base- and mid-layer clothing, waterproof pants, hand warmers, sunscreen and lip balm ($299).
