Churchill Manitoba

My wife got us tickets for our birthdays to fly up to Churchill Manitoba to see the polar bears and wildlife. What a sweetheart! It was a great adventure for the day .
Even with the snowy rainy weather it was well worth it. Rode in the tundra buggies which went almost anywhere.
The weather was -1 celcius and snowy. Lots of polar bears come to this area since it is the first area to have ice form, once it forms, they can go out and hunt for ring seals which is all they basically eat. They haven't ate in 4 months, so they are really hungry.

Peter, great images. Churchill is for sure a special place and I hope that the polar bears will survive the shrinking ice and will still thrive.

Really enjoyed your Churchill gallery. I arrived on the Churchill tundra the same day you were there and spent Oct 25-30 in the Tundra Buggy Lodge and out in the buggy each day shooting polar bears. An experience I will never forget!

Great images, especially the first 3. They definitely sold me on the capabilities of the 1DMarkIII. So sharp and clear with the high ISO settings, overcast weather and at 700mm I asume you also used a tele-converter. None the less, great gallery and a great gift from your wife. Glad you enjoyed yourselves.

Churchill is a great place. I'm glad you got to go. I'd like to go back someday.
