Churchill Photos of the Week

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!

Churchill Photos of the Week – Wildflowers

Churchill’s summer wildflowers are in full bloom igniting the tundra with a patchwork of life exuding color. The Arctic wildflowers are incredible and throughout the summer different waves of color emerge. As a guide for the Arctic summer trips,  I became immersed in identifying the flowers and educating travelers on the unique qualities of each. The tundra and its colors are one aspect of the amazing Churchill Arctic summer!
