Nat Hab Launches Aurora Pod: Latest of Three Ways to View Northern Lights In Rare Comfort and Warmth

Nat Hab is proud to announce its newest innovation in guest access and luxury - the Aurora Pod. This exclusive, custom-built structure featuring geometric glass construction (from waist-height up) is fully heated and equipped with reclining chairs for a 360-degree, unobstructed view of the northern lights.

“The year 2015 is expected to be near the peak of a long-term cycle of solar flare activity,” said Ben Bressler, founder and president of Nat Hab. “Guests are in for a real treat with aurora activity predicted to be close to recent heights.”

“Together these innovations create the most comprehensive set of vantage points to experience the northern lights,” said Bressler. He called Churchill the “accessible Arctic,” easy to reach from Winnipeg via direct flight or by a relaxing overnight train ride across the prairie and through boreal forest. Both options are offered by Nat Hab.

Natural Habitat Adventures offer two ways to experience the winter wonders of Churchill. Northern Lights & Arctic Cultures is a small-group trip (no more than 14 guests) for six or eight days running January through March from $4,795 per person based on double occupancy. The Northern Lights Photography Tour is a seven-day trip offered in February and March from $5,695 per person based on double occupancy, with a maximum of just 10 guests. Photo tours are led by guides who are experienced naturalists as well as accomplished nature photographers with expertise in capturing images of the aurora, and who are on board to help guests with tips and advice for getting their own excellent images.
While nights in Churchill are devoted to capturing images of the aurora, daylight excursions focus on the austere beauty of the tundra environs. Hardy northern wildlife, such as Arctic hare and Arctic fox, are both artfully camouflaged by their white fur coats, but photographers may be lucky to capture them!
