Your Authentic Artic Experience

Staff and Guests on a world-famous Tundra Buggy

For those of you who have already had an Authentic Arctic Experience with Frontiers North Adventures, we’re sure you’ll be able to relate to some of these. Here are our top ten favourite things about Polar Bear Season.

- Bears!!
- Seeing our guests faces light up at their first glimpse of a bear
- Bears lumbering across the tundra, backlit by a Manitoba sunset
- Reconnecting with old friends as staff (and bears!) arrive in town for the season
- Northern Lights
- The clicking of cameras
- The people of Churchill
- The sense of adventure
- Nicest sunrises/sunsets you will ever experience
- Meeting people from all over the world

Aside from our top ten favourites, here is a sample polar bear season through the eyes of our staff:
- mother love (mother & cub)
- seeing our seasonal staff back in town and catching up
- A packed gift shop – this year there will be more room – hurray!
- the sound of the plane/train arriving into Churchill – sort of like “OK, everyone. All hands on deck”!
- bears sparring!
- Hallowe’en in Churchill, there’s nothing like it!
- softly falling snow
- howling winds
- helping our guests smell, taste and feel this environment
- empowering vastness, wilderness
- majestic animals living trough climatic changes
- exposure to a totally different environment
- anticipation
- Gypsy’s Bakery
- crisp air and snow crunching under your boots
- when a guest takes the time to stop by the office and say thanks for a great trip
- excited guests
- the smell of cold air
- the “whooshing” sound of the propane furnace firing up in the morning
- camaraderie and joking around while getting the buggies ready in the morning
- ruddy cheeks
- sun dogs
- exhilaration
- peace
- solitude
- driving a buggy through a storm and seeing the sun breaking through the clouds showing the way
