We want to share your Churchill Wild photos with the world!
Churchill Wild guests, professional photographers, photo leaders and staff post a large number of photos to Instagram, both on their personal accounts and on the @churchillwildsafaris Instagram page. The album below includes a mixture of photos from all the aforementioned groups and from our own account. You can click on any of the photos in the album and they will open a new window to the photographer or author page.
We love to share photos from our polar bear lodges, especially from guests, so if you’ve taken some great shots with us and have posted them to Instagram, using the tags #churchillwild and #churchillwildsafaris could help you gain more exposure on Instagram through this album.
Also make sure to tag the individual lodge or lodges you were visiting, which include #sealriverheritagelodge, #nanukpolarbearlodge and #dymondlakeecolodge. We’ll be creating Instagram feeds for all three lodges, so if you’ve tagged them in your posts they should show up in their respective albums and hopefully help you gain a few more loyal fans!
We’ll swap out the photo at the top of this post on a regular basis and link it to a different guest, photographer, photo leader, guide or staffer. Have to spread the “Loves” and “Likes” around! Of course, we’re also hoping you’ll follow @churchillwildsafaris on Instagram too. 🙂
A huge thanks to all of our guests, professional photographers, photo leaders and staff for sharing your incredible photos with us! Enjoy!

Ice Pupper, Arctic Snow Floof, and Sir Frosty McKensington are all native Inuit names for polar bears.
Today marks our last day here in Churchill. While I would be quite literally happy to stay for another 3 weeks, all good things must come to an end. Thanks again to travelmanitoba for getting me here and churchillwildsafaris for being the best hosts a man like me could ever possibly hope for.
Polar bear northern Manitoba...We arrived at our fly-in camp, Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge, which was 250kms from civilization....the nearest town was Churchill. It was late October and the weather was windy and rainy. Within minutes of arriving we came across this big male, laying down in some willow brush, with his back to the elements and just waiting out the inclement weather. #ROMwpyON #nanukpolarbearlodge #churchillwild #polarbear #churchillwild #bestnatureshot #canoncanada #shotoncanon #wildlifephotography #wildlife #nature #opcmag #wildlifeplanet #canadianwildlife #explorecanada #bestnatureshots #yourshotphotography #romtoronto #photomagazine #naturesbeauty #naturesbest #naturesbestphotomagazine #nature #cangeo #sharecangeo #natgeomyshot

It was such an incredible experience to be between two wolves howling back and forth to one another. 💕

Did you know 2/3 of the world's polar bear population lives in Canada?
Polar bears are only found in the north of our planet but they are circumpolar and live all around the globe. There are 19 populations of polar bears and polar bears evolved from brown bears.
Not only did I walk with the polar bears with Churchill Wild but our expert guides taught us about the bears, wolves and northern lights.

It’s International Polar Bear Day. Just another reason to care about climate change. PS. They live in the Arctic North, not the Antarctic South. Pretty sure this one has never met a penguin.

What's your favourite thing about these amazing white bears?
We love their strength, resilience, and the beauty of their unmistakable silhouette. 😍

Our flagship property is named Seal River Heritage Lodge, and yet, we rarely see sights like this! This bearded seal was beautifully captured by guide @jodymae last night during a sunset boat ride on Hudson Bay. 😍

This big guy just napped in front of the lodge all morning.
Polar bears and Arctic foxes have a unique relationship known as commensalism.
Arctic foxes will follow polar bears around when they're hunting, scavenging on whatever the bear leaves behind. It's a pretty good arrangement!

So we were walking through a blizzard on one of our daily outings not really expecting to see a bear or anything since the visibility was about 25 metres. Most of us were walking with our heads down trying to keep our faces warm. Much to our surprise, this huge bear came out of the driving snow right at us. In all my years as a photo leader for Churchill Wild, this encounter ranks as my favourite.

Looking For The Pack
Wolf packs are complex social structures. Sometimes the „family“ is sticking together, sometimes each member of the pack is minding his/her own business. The interaction of the wolves is always fascinating to observe.

Our polar bear lodges are located beneath the auroral oval, far from populated areas, making them an ideal place for spotting the northern lights. 🤩

My favorite moment from Hudson Bay. Our guides bwaterton and jodymae took 5 of us down to the ice to look for a fox. Lucky for us a polar was heading in and Bella and Jody got us into a great position to have this wonderful experience. Thanks again ladies ❤️ and thanks ninahuberswiss for making this moment so special and fun ! Bear dances work. #wildlifephotography #hudsonbay #polarbears #churchillwild #ilovebears #jennysbears
The cheekiest Arctic fox that I ever did meet. 🥰
These last few weeks in sub-Arctic Canada photo-guiding with churchillwildsafaris have been incredible. Polar bears, Arctic fox, red fox, wolverines, wolves, moose, gyrfalcons, and so much more. Despite the harsh climate (-40c is pretty cold, trust me), wildlife continues to thrive in this special corner of the world.
All that said, this is an extremely fragile environment; each element in a delicate balance with the next. If one falters, the system collapses. With climate patterns becoming increasingly unpredictable, the challenges that face wildlife here are now unprecedented.
An Arctic fox's thick winter coat helps them hide from predators and provides extra warmth. Arctic camouflage at its finest!
Thanks to our guest Carl Anderson for the beautiful photo.
