Churchill Photo of the Week – Beluga

This outstanding underwater shot was taken by wildlife photographer Douglas Kahle in Churchill while snorkeling with hundreds of beluga whales. We have not seen many photos capturing air bubbles coming from the beluga’s blow hole. Beluga Whales are extremely curious toward humans underwater, allowing for these up-close photo opportunities and wildlife experiences of a lifetime. Fantastic shot!

Churchill Sunday Photo – Polar Bear Breath

These polar bears are investigating the smells and feel of a tour vehicle. Inquisitive Polar bears are super sensitive to smell and are fearless when it comes to exploring new things in their environment. This is one of those rare times when getting this close to a polar bear is safe…for the most part. Nice shot by Alex De Vries – Magnifico in Churchill last polar bear season!

Sparring Polar Bears in Water

An awesome photograph by Andy Murch of polar bears sparring in the water in Churchill. Guide Alex De Vries – Magnifico lead the group via zodiac to this secret polar bear hangout. After a morning snorkeling with beluga whales in the Churchill River, this was an amazing way to finish off a great day on the water. This summer polar bears have been prolific most of the season with some groups seeing up to 20 bears. This is unusual as some years sightings can be quite scarce. Enjoy!

Churchill Sunday Photo – Pisew Falls

An awesome shot of Pisew Falls on the road to Thompson. Natural Habitat Adventures groups heading to Churchill get off the train in Wabowden and take a coach to Thompson to reconnect with the train in Thompson. I have had the pleasure of guiding many travelers to this spot over the years and this is always an epic photo opportunity. A boardwalk down into the forest stops at a overlook platform where one can get views like this. Enjoy!
