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!

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.
