Excellent photos and you’ve whetted my appetite. I cannot decide if Churchill or Spitzburgen is better for polar bear sightings.
Can you share which cruise compnay you used? Thanks.
Hello,
We make the cruise with a french compagny Grand Nord Grand Large, the boat’s name is Ortelius.
I have never visited Churchill, I can’t tell you the better place but we saw most of the time polar bear from a long distance, exept those we have seen on the floe very close.
