This short video clip of cascading northern lights in Churchill is an awesome look at the lights glimmering across the sky. Snow is falling today in Churchill so probably no viewing tonight. Stay tuned for more photos and news from northern lights season in Churchill. Enjoy the weekend!
Sometimes hump day can be tough. Relax and take it easy like this polar bear family in Wapusk National Park just east of Churchill, Manitoba. This photo was taken by Daisy Gilardini in the polar bear denning area of Wapusk. Polar bears congregate in Churchill throughout late summer into the fall while waiting for the Hudson Bay to freeze. The denning area of Wapusk National Park is home to mothers and cubs during the deep freeze of winter. Only a few brave souls venture into this region. Churchill is the polar bear capital of the world and the best place to see these unique and majestic animals.

I know the plethora of magnificent northern lights photos posted are getting out of control, though these are so good that they have to be shown to the world and our loyal subscribers. Natural Habitat Adventures guide Drew Hamilton snapped these boreal forest aurora borealis pics last night in Churchill. With the season continuing to build toward the Hudson Bay Quest on March 17th, we keep thinking the aurora borealis can’t get any better. It’s never been so good to be wrong! Enjoy!

An extreme activity warning for aurora borealis viewing was issued prior to last night for Churchill and we surely were not disappointed! These images from Natural Habitat Adventure’s guide Drew Hamilton are pretty creative and spectacular. The nights have been filled with northern lights this season and they just seem to be getting better and better. With 10 days and counting until the Hudson Bay Quest leaves from Churchill hopes are high for some night navigation by the glow in the sky.
