Visit to Nunalla: A Glimpse of Arctic Trading Post History

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

A group of our Frontiers North Adventurers had a chance to visit Nunalla. And the trip did not disappoint!

Nunalla is an old Hudson’s Bay Company trading post, lying on the Manitoba/Nunavut border. Frontiers North Adventures offers a unique helicopter tour to Nunalla. Guests often spot moose, caribou, and of course, polar bears on the journey up to Nunalla. Nunalla’s two weathered Hudson’s Bay Company buildings give visitors a glimpse of life in an arctic trading post. The trip also includes a stop on the 60th Parallel where guests can grab a snapshot marking their visit and adding to their Authentic Arctic Experience.

Check out some of our guests visiting Nunalla. It’s definitely a remote post!

Hudson Bay Freeze-up

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Two days ago we had an opportunity to go up in a helicopter and take some images and video of the Churchill Wildlife Management Area. We were able to capture some nice shots of the freeze-up this year of the Hudson Bay. With the temperatures holding steady around -5 celsius this week, the ice has been slow to form.

Polar Bear Lift

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

We were very fortunate to witness Manitoba Conservation and Hudson Bay Helicopter perform a polar bear lift this afternoon at the Polar Bear Compound in Churchill.

To give some background, any bear that is caught by Manitoba Conservation within Churchill limits is placed in the Polar Bear Compound for an extended period of time.  The bears receive little to no interaction with humans and other bears that are also being kept there.

This particular bear was in the compound for 30 days and was flown further north of Churchill.

Nunalla Helicopter Adventure

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

We 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.

2009 will mark the second year for Frontiers North’s Churchill Recycling Program. With the help from our valued partners, we ship any recyclables (such as plastic containers, aluminum cans, juice boxes, cardboard and paper) used in Churchill on our Tundra Buggy excursions, Tundra Buggy Lodge, Tundra Buggy Gift Shop, Frontiers North office, Staff houses, Hudson Bay Helicopter’s office and Polar Bears International Staff houses to recycling facilities in Winnipeg.

We are very proud of this initiative, as it aids us in inching closer to sustainability in our business operations.
