Churchill Autumn: Polar Bears, Whales & the Aurora

What if you could experience beluga whales, polar bears and the northern lights — all in a single Arctic journey? Expedition Leader Eleanor Edye shares a first look at our new Churchill Autumn Adventure, an expedition timed to coincide with one of the North's most remarkable seasons. Discover how this unique itinerary combines Zodiac excursions among curious beluga whales, Polar Rover explorations on the vibrant autumn tundra in search of polar bears and other wildlife, Indigenous cultural experiences and opportunities to witness the aurora borealis.

How do whales recognize family, communicate across vast distances and navigate the social rules of life beneath the waves? In the second installment of this lighthearted series, biologist and Canada Expedition Leader Kristina Disney dives deeper into the complex relationships that shape whale society. Explore the family structures, communication and behaviors of belugas, humpbacks, gray whales, orcas and other cetaceans, and discover why understanding whale etiquette begins with appreciating just how much these ocean giants have to teach us.
