/animals/assets/polarRover polarRover.png 800 154 DriverLeader.png Our adventures include both a highly experienced driver/guide AND a professionally trained Natural Habitat Expedition Leader. It's our belief that a trip is only as good as the leadership! 708 100 DualRadioSystem.png Our radio system allows our drivers to be in constant contact with our rover base and other drivers while our Expedition Leaders maintain contact with other guides and our Churchill office. This helps us in our goal of achieving the safest and best polar bear viewing. 668 195 slopedfrontwindows.png Our specially constructed sloped windshield gives us the opportunity for closer viewing when the action is right in front of us. 624 321 engine.png Polar Rovers are powered by 240 H.P. DT466 International engines, giving us a top speed of 35 miles per hour. 555 168 luxbus.png Our reclining bus seats provide lumbar support and side bolsters, providing the most comfortable ride available. 302 302 suspension.png Our specially designed suspension (leaf spring front with walking bar rear) enhances the glide of our vehicle and provides a remarkably comfortable ride. 323 171 Occupancy.png Our vehicles hold between 30-50 travelers but for comfort and safety we limit our groups to approximately 15 guests. All guests get their own windows and more! 312 100 heating.png Each Polar Rover features an on-board heating system designed to keep the entire Polar Rover at a comfortable temperature as we open and close the windows and doors for wildlife viewing. 274 141 windows.png We have installed specially designed windows that open and close rather easily in the cold weather. The windows slide down allowing you ample room for photography and polar bear viewing. 168 315 tundratires.png Typically we use 6-foot tires to lift us safely above the bears and to provide a comfortable ride. 173 158 toilet.png Rather than a drop bucket, we have professionally installed flush toilets to ensure our guests' comfort throughout the day. 91 181 viewingplatforms.png Large rear viewing platforms allow our guests to experiance bear viewing within the elements. Bears often lift their paws onto the sides to check us out! 92 240 mesh.png Unique mesh flooring installed into the outside decks allows us to come within inches of the "King of the Arctic."
