Churchill surroundings is totally different from the surroundings on Svalbard. In Churchill we have trees and small forests nearby the ocean. The polar bears await the oceans to freeze up there and as soon it does, they disappear out on the ice for hunting their main pray - seals. To encounter polar bears there autumn is the best time to do it. From September to the end of November is the window for seeing them here we have. Late November gives us snow and snowdrifts, and we in Arctic Wildlife Tours choose to go for that to begin with.

All photography will be done from ground level. We use 4x4 vehicles and can get out of the cars and approach polar bears when they are around. We will be able to stay close and wait for interesting behavior. This workshop will focus on capturing interesting scenes and work with different polar bear personalities. Arctic Wildlife Tours guides are experienced in this kind of field work and know how to get to the best situations. This first trip in 2022 will only be 6 persons in total. A unique opportunity of experience the "Polar Bear Capital" with us.

Churchill’s location directly under the auroral oval means there is always the possibility of the Northern Lights making an appearance. If the lights come out during your trip we will take the group out to photograph in our favorite spots for no extra charge.
