The Churchill Polar Bear webcam just went live. :D

Not sure where to post this link, but here it is, for those who are interested.
At the moment, there is a great close-up view of an adult polar bear snuggled up against a large rock & a bush...

The tundra buggy cam is live again!

Thanks for letting us know, dupre! :-* I was wondering when it would be up and running again.

When the camera becomes boring you can check out this link from my 2010 visit.

And thanks for reminding us of your own trip to the tundra, dennis! :D

So while we were watching the bears do bear things, this is really what their life was all about ...  :-\

Yes, Saoirse... I especially love the one of the 2 babies following behind their mother, walking along the water's edge. :D

I haven't been able to watch the cam at work -- and, of course, that's when it's up and operating -- so it's great to be able to see videos of the action. They're such amazing animals.

Apparently, as of last Saturday, the polar bear webcam is done for the season. :( But there are still some interesting videos to watch. :)

This video was very interesting to watch, highlighting awareness to the polar bear's vulnerabilty to climate change. :(

Visibility on the tundra is quite low today. We saw a tundra buggy but that's about all. ::)

Yes, your photos are truly magnificent, Dennis! :D I was struck by how tiny these bear's ears appear to be, for the size of their body.

WOW Dennis that was fantastic viewing.  Thankyou so much for sharing your pictures of the Churchill polar bears.  Your photos captured the character of the polar bear in ways I was unaware of.  I really enjoyed those.
