Just what you've been waiting for!


Hello SHS students. Here is what you have been waiting for me to see up here in Churchill. Yes, that is a Polar Bear lounging on the rocks along the coast of the Hudson Bay. Actually we saw three today on our day off. This one was the closest at about 150meters away.

We also saw many beluga whales, a couple of bald eagles, fox, sandhill cranes, jellyfish and many other types of birds. It was perfect weather with the temperature about 12 degrees Celsius, a little breezy along the coast and most importantly no hassles with the black flies and mozzies (mosquitios) as they call them in the UK.
More pics and answers to some of your questions will be in a later blog.
