We love hosting media on all of our adventures. A few years ago, we hosted Al Roker from NBC’s TODAY show in Churchill to do a segment on our Tundra Buggy Adventure. He even stayed overnight at our Tundra Buggy Lodge.

TODAY Show on the Tundra Buggy Lodge
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010‘In one day alone we saw 54 polar bears.’
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010Photographer Michelle Valberg travelled to Churchill and captured some amazing polar bear and other arctic wildlife images that were recently featured in the Ottawa Citizen.
Michelle was fortunate to see over 54 polar bears in one day. In total, she snapped 6,140 photos on her trip for a book she’s working on entitled ‘The Land & Life of the Inuit … Through the Generations.’ Proceeds from this book will be donated to aid literacy and fitness and recreation for Inuit children.
Here are some of her images. To view her story in the Ottawa Citizen and more photos, click here.

30 Years
Friday, January 1st, 2010Happy New Year!
2010 is a very special year for us. It marks the 30th anniversary of Frontiers North Adventures. Some days we cannot believe that we have been adventuring in Canada’s north for 30 years!
Over the years our homegrown company has moved out of the Gunter basement and into a spacious office in Winnipeg.

We now conduct extensive international business and sell direct to our guests and also through a global network of agents and wholesalers. Our destination portfolio – still sharply focused on Canada’s north – has evolved to include more of Manitoba, Elu Inlet Lodge, Foxe Basin, Arctic cruises and coastal British Columbia. Striving to operate a sustainable, professionally managed organization, we currently offer close to 65 departures and employ over 60 full-time and seasonal staff.
We’ve come a long way, baby!

New Protected Areas in Manitoba
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009Manitoba has announced two new protected Wildlife Management Areas in the province. The Kaskatamagan Wildlife Management Area is 259,530 hectares and is home to the western Hudson Bay sub-population of polar bears and caribou. The Kaskatamagan Sipi Wildlife Management Area protects 133,820 hectares of wilderness in the boreal Arctic tundra transition zone and is recognized as a globally significant bird area.
It has been estimated these two protected areas alone store approximately 179 million tonnes of carbon in their peatlands and soil. This is equivalent to 656 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, the same as the emissions from the entire province of Manitoba for 30 years.
