Heading out over the frozen Tundra’s of the Canadian Arctic, this trip allows you the chance to come face to face with the world’s largest bear in this rugged frontier wilderness. Every Autumn, the tundra at the shores of the Hudson Bay becomes a stopover for more than a thousand polar bears on their annual migration to the pack ice. Whilst the bears mostly live solitary lives, spotting them individually on the ice can be a monumental feat. However, in Churchill at this time of year, staying in comfortable lodges, you have the incredible opportunity to see large numbers of them in a relatively small wilderness area.
Our expedition leaders have spent time with researchers from the World Wildlife Fund who have been studying polar bears in the region and their knowledge will give you a privileged insight into one of the most iconic of the Arctic animals. In specially adapted Tundra vehicles you will experience one of the exciting wildlife encounters and gain an insight into the bear’s behaviour, but you will also have the chance to look for arctic hare and fox as well as the spectacular light display of Aurora Borealis – “The Dawn of the North.” A classic Arctic wildlife trip for photographers and polar bear enthusiasts alike.
