Seal River is on the western side of Hudson Bay, Manitoba, Canada. It is the place for polar bears in the summertime, and about a zillion beluga whales. Seal River Lodge takes only about a dozen people in a family environment. The hospitality and friendliess are memorable, the food is astonishing, and the experience is life-changing. If you love wilderness and you have good camera gear and you want a rare experience, go. Tell 'em I sent you. My pix are all RAW and then processed down to small JPGs for SmugMug. Hope they don't disappoint.
We travel with two bears. That's Teddy on the left, from the Edinburgh Tattoo and his mate Polar, whom we acquired on a small-boat trip in the Bering Sea with Cruise West. They were on lookout duty for bears. This was our bunk room. The bars on the windows are there because sometimes bears (big ones, that is) try to break in. Polar loved it at the lodge. One day, he thought he saw his uncle in the distance. (Just so you know, we're not a bit weird; I am writing a children's book about the bears' travels. They have their own passports.)
