Polar bears — or Nanuk as they’re called by the Inuit — fresh from their icy winter playground, explore every inch of coastline. Sows with cubs are common. The ground is adrift with wildflowers and bird life, including Willow Ptarmigan and Snowy Owls. Hundreds of beluga whales gather along the coast each day. This is the land of the Northern Lights.

In keeping with our tradition of photographing wildlife Up Close & Personal, we offer this one-of-a-kind adventure that is uniquely different from Churchill. Our base of operations is the Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge, situated on a remote stretch of Hudson Bay coastline at the southern tip of Wapusk National Park in the Tatnum Wildlife Management Area of Manitoba, in Canada’s Sub-Arctic wilderness.

Not only will participants have the opportunity to photograph polar bears as close as 3-feet from inside the safety of the 8-foot high buffalo fence surrounding the lodge, daily excursions onto the tundra via 4-wheel ATVs provide unmatched opportunities to photograph the bears and other Arctic wildlife in their natural environment as never before.
