Churchill Northern Lights Season Blazing

The highly anticipated northern lights season in Churchill is underway and off to a roaring start. Last night Natural Habitat Adventures guide Drew Hamilton and his group of travelers spent the evening out at Wapusk Adventures sled -dog yard with owner and musher Dave Daley. The area is set up nicely for an evening of aurora watching and photography.

Dave is an excellent educator on the history and care of the northern husky sled dogs. An evening with him conveying this and his love for his 40 plus dogs melded with the spectacular aurora borealis above is “enlightening”.to say the least.

These beautiful northern lights shots by Drew are just the start to what will hopefully eclipse the incredible season we had last year. Enjoy!

Churchill Polar Bear Pic

Great shot from snow – covered Churchill. Natural Habitat Adventures guide Drew Hamilton took this one of a resting polar bear on the tundra. Polar bears in Churchill are looking pretty healthy so far this season and the early snow has them feeling good in their habitat. It definitely feels like the stage is being set for one of the most magical polar bear seasons ever!

Churchill Photo of the Week – Scarface?

This polar bear photo from Churchill and Natural Habitat guide Drew Hamilton has aroused interest and excitement in local bear experts. This is possibly a polar bear that was a fixture in the area for years and then vanished one season, presumed dead. Still waiting on confirmation as the facial scar is reminiscent of the famed bruin that roamed the Churchill Wildlife Management Area for years! Regardless, this beautiful bear signals the official start of an exciting polar bear season in Churchill!
