Your Journey Begins

The excitement builds even before you reach Churchill – as you realise you are flying almost as far north as it is possible to fly commercially. And as you reach this remote outpost and see signs in the streets telling you to watch out for polar bears, you really understand 'this ain't Kansas'.

You are in an alien environment, where the climate demands your respect – and you can't wait to explore the fascinating culture of the human beings who can survive here.

In winter here temperatures average -16 degrees Fahrenheit (-27 degree Celsius).

To put that in perspective, Juneau, Alaska – not noted for its balmy weather – is on average about 42 degrees F (23 degrees C) warmer. When the first Europeans came to Churchill in the sixteen hundreds, only 3 out of an expedition of 64 survived the winter.

But you sleep safe and warm that night in a hotel in town – or, if you prefer, you go to sleep that night out on the tundra – in a specially-built mobile lodge, surrounded by prowling polar bears...
