Alex De Vries – Magnifico has been capturing fantastic images of Churchill and the wildlife around the area for awhile now. However, his photos of northern lights over the past year are among the best we have seen from the Churchill region. Check out this shot from deep within the boreal forest. Spectacular!

Churchill Photographer Alex De Vries – Magnifico captured these beautiful polar bear shots just recently. The fall colors of the vibrant tundra are especially rich this year. Polar bear season is coming quick and many bears are already gathering around Churchill. Recent counts confirmed 12 polar bears being held in the holding facility. This season should be an active one with high numbers of polar bears across the tundra!

Alex De Vries – Magnifico took this “outstanding”,(see what I did there?), northern lights photograph in Churchill last evening. The aurora borealis continues to impress into September. These spectacular sights we have been seeing bode well for polar bear season which is just a couple of weeks away. With some clear nights throughout the fall season travelers should get some special evenings with the northern lights glowing in the sky above Churchill. Enjoy!
