Day 1 - The Polar Bear Express

Wow! What a day. It began with a brisk walk to breakfast at 6:30. As usual the temperature was 10 degrees and the wind was blowing at 30 mph. Following breakfast we boarded a school bus for the trip out to the tundra where we boarded the Tundra Buggy. Off we went at breakneck speeds of up to 3 mph over the frozen tundra.

















For 7 hours we prowled the frozen wilderness and were rewarded with multiple sightings of polar bears, ptarmigan and one arctic hare. It's getting late and Cathy and I have to get ready to do it all over again tomorrow so it's time to go to bed. But here are a couple of photos for you to enjoy.

































Until tomorrow,
Cheers.

Mark and Cathy
