Our naturalist guide will inform us of the behavior and habits of the polar bears as well as educate us on the fragile environment of this northern community. The small port town of Churchill includes an Eskimo Museum and shops with local native crafts. Given proper conditions, we might catch a glimpse of the northern lights.
