Halloween on the Tundra
Saturday, October 31st, 2009We had two very special guests join us at our FNA office in Churchill and Tundra Buggy® Launch site this morning to help celebrate Halloween. Buggy Bear and WWF-Canada’s Panda handed out candy to excited guests as they boarded their Tundra Buggies for the day.
Polar Bear Treat
Friday, October 30th, 2009One of our groups got a lot of laughs from the young female polar bear rolling around in berry patches. She had them all over her face, chest & frontal areas. At first it was thought it was blood but then soon realized she was simply a real sloppy eater!

Mom & cubs spotted in the Churchill WMA
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009Over the past two days there have been increased sightings of mother polar bears with cubs in the Churchill Wildlife Management Area where we conduct our Tundra Buggy adventures. Today was no exception as we spotted a mom with two cubs on the tundra. More bears are definitely making their way into the area and many great bear sightings occurred.
Here are some images of the day.
FNA Interpretive Guide featured on CTV
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009One of our Interpretive Guides, Derek Kyostia, was featured on CTV for a story reporting that grizzly bear numbers have dropped on British Columbia’s central coast. Derek is a salmon biologist who gives tours of the Glendale Cove area during his polar bear guiding off season. Derek has said they estimate the bear population has fallen 20 to 30 percent due to last year’s dismal salmon run.
Here is the news report:

A Day in the Life of a Tundra Buggy® Driver

Nunalla Helicopter Adventure
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009We had the opportunity to join our guests on a unique three-hour helicopter tour to Nunalla, Manitoba. We flew approximately one-hour from Churchill westward across the Churchill River and Button Bay and north to Nunalla. Tons of amazing wildlife was spotted on the journey including moose, caribou, and polar bears. After a brief stop in Nunalla to view unique archaeological sites like tent rings and an unmarked grave, the group went back up in the air for a few minutes only to land at the border of Manitoba and Nunavut.
Here are some images from the Nunalla Helicopter adventure.
Polar Bears love Germans
Monday, October 19th, 2009In partnership with Travel Manitoba and DERTOUR, we had the opportunity to host a great group of travel agents from Germany on a Tundra Buggy this week. The bears must have really liked them because they were treated with great sightings and even some curiosity! Check out these great pics!
