We posted these awesome red fox action images earlier today on our Churchill Polar Bears Facebook page and thought we should open up the exposure to churchillpolarbears.org fans. These two sequential and amazing red fox pics were taken by Great White Bear Tours in Churchill. Many photographers spend years trying to get the fox diving into snow to capture a lemming or rodent of some sort. Soon travelers from all over will arrive in Churchill and have a chance to get their own red fox shots under the magical northern lights!

This awesome video by adventure photographer Chris Burkard. Chris specializes in surfing footage from the harshest climates sporting the most grueling waves on Earth. On his recent trip to Iceland he and his crew endured an epic storm that produced some gnarly waves all under a magnificent light show of aurora borealis. Check the video out!

Jonathan Stewart gives us a succinct basic tutorial on photographing the northern lights. With the prime northern lights season arriving in a few weeks, Churchill will be the ultimate place for viewing the aurora borealis and bagging incredible photos. The more one can prepare for photographing in sub – zero temperatures the better. Arriving with knowledge about the lights and the right gear can save time and energy and simply put you in the position to capture an epic image. Hope to see you in Churchill in the future!
