Photography Expeditions in November

Churchill is where you go to photograph polar bears. The tundra outside town in October and November holds the largest accessible concentration of polar bears on earth, waiting on the shore of Hudson Bay for the ice to freeze so they can begin hunting again. Specialist tundra buggies and rover vehicles put photographers within meters of the bears in natural behavior. The same location in January through March delivers exceptional northern lights over a dark, flat, snow-covered landscape with near-guaranteed clear skies on many nights. In summer, the Churchill River estuary hosts one of the world's largest beluga whale aggregations. Three completely different subjects, one remote location.
