We arrive early on November 8th at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre
The quiet area in the dorm
That's our room with the door open
We can look outside (through the bars) but can't venture out without an armed escort!
Many photos line the walls. This one caught my eye.
This (icy cold) hallway separates the dorm from the rest of the center
Our first chance to go outside for a helicoptor tour of the area, temperature a warm 12 degrees or thereabouts
Sharon, me, Stefanie
Sharon, Tara, Tibby, and Hank (Henry behind Sharon?)
The helicoptors landed next to the Centre
A Moose!
Our first sighting of Polar Bears!
Mom and young--we'll see them again . . .
Tara, Christina, and Rupert
Rupert's slide showing how closely related the Polar and Brown bears are . . .
That afternoon we went dog-sledding
The dogs were eager to travel
Handsome Hawk
A rescued pup

Great job Joan! Nice sharp close-ups of the p-bears and you definately can tell its br-r-rr up there!
Very well done Joan, it was a great time!
Great pics! The rescue pup is soooo cute...and the bears.
I think we should call you "Nanuk of the North!" Great pictures! Thanks, Janey
You are becoming quite the adventurer. A fabulous collection Joan, way to go!
A lovely gallery of your trip, Joan! It's the next best thing to being there... :o)
