After six days of rattling along the tundra we leave without seeing the bears we came to see. I've said about all that can be said in my previous posts.
While we are bitterly disappointed it would be a mistake to say we left empty handed. We had the opportunity to spend 6+ days with a wonderful group of like minded world explorers of amazing talent and spirit. While we came to see bears we did see caribou, ptarmigan, red fox, snow buntings and a martin and I am not so jaded to be able to say they were not a joy to see and photograph. We had some of the most vibrant and dynamic northern lights experienced in the region.
In short, we had a fantastic time. And our passion to photograph newborn polar bear cubs is just as strong if not stronger. So don't be surprised if in 12 months we start the hunt all over again.
I can't wait. Till then enjoy some shots from our last day on the tundra.

Hi, I just search for the newborn cubs tour of Watchee Lodge and find your blog. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't find bears this time. However, I believe this must be still a wonderful trip for you. I would also like to attend the tour from Watchee Lodge next year, but they never give me any response. Would you like to share the information how to contact with Watchee Lodge? and how about their price of the tour? If you think it is better to reply this information by mails. Please mail me to knwoism@gmail.com thanks!!
