In the crystalline months of late October and November, when the edge of Hudson Bay prepares for winter’s embrace, a remarkable gathering occurs. The Polar Bear Photo Safari at Seal River Heritage Lodge offers seven days of extraordinary access to one of nature’s most profound spectacles – polar bears moving across the threshold of seasons, their white coats luminous against the austere autumn landscape.
Your first glimpse might come from the window of your flight from Churchill to the lodge, bears appearing like brush strokes against the tundra canvas below. But it’s at ground level where the true magnificence reveals itself. Here, uniquely positioned along the bears’ migratory route, Seal River Heritage Lodge offers what photographers dream of – unparalleled opportunities to document these magnificent creatures at eye level, their breath visible in the crisp Arctic air.
