The temperatures may be freezing, but the beauty of the day is more than enough to warm the soul. This morning, we spotted two playful Arctic foxes soaking up the sun's rays, perfectly enjoying the crisp air and golden light.

Nature truly knows how to distract us from the cold!

This past weekend, the first group of the Northern Lights season got quite the adventure. Not only did they witness the stunning aurora dance across the sky, but they also braved a snowstorm and extreme cold temperatures.

We hope guests will take home memories of breathtaking beauty, raw nature, resiliency, and stories of braving the elements that will last a lifetime.

A common question we get: “Can you still see polar bears in town this time of year?” The answer? Rarely, but not impossible. By now, most polar bears are out on the sea ice, hunting seals, besides denning females and coy.

But if you're here for northern lights season, there's still plenty of wildlife to spot! Keep an eye out for red and arctic foxes, owls, ravens, weasels, moose—and if you're really lucky, maybe even a wolf. In fact, one was seen in town just yesterday.

This bear, with scars and blood-streaked fur, tells the story of life on the tundra—a constant battle for food, dominance and survival.

Polar bears are apex predators, yet even they face challenges in this unforgiving environment. The average life span of a polar bear in the wild is around 15–18 years, but some tagged polar bears have been recorded at over 30 years old, a testament to their resilience and adaptability in extreme conditions.

Every scar is a reminder of the strength required to survive.

After an incredibly busy bear season, we took a couple of days to catch up on some much-needed sleep and spent quality time together as a family. It was the perfect way to recharge after such an exciting and unforgettable season.

The cold weather has finally arrived in Churchill, though the bay remains ice-free for now. We're keeping our eyes on the horizon, hoping to see the bears venturing out soon.

Thank you for being part of this remarkable season with us. Stay tuned for updates on the changing landscape and wildlife sightings as we prepare for northern lights season.
