This blog is a photographic journal of our adventures in Churchill, Manitoba to experience the northern lights- the aurora borealis! Fabulous astronomers have provided lectures, and helped us appreciate the wonder of what we were seeing. We have been volunteering at CNSC, the Churchill Northern Studies Centre. We also experienced dog sledding, a visit to the sea ice, construction of igloos and quinzhees, wildlife sightings, etc. It's a magical place!

Lure of the North
We're heading back! Brian and I will be returning to Churchill, Manitoba to view the northern lights. We'll be staying at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre once again, doing volunteer kitchen duty to earn our keep.
Churchill is located on the southwestern edge of Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Canada. In November of 2010, Brian and I first came to Churchill to see the polar bears as they waited to migrate out onto the bay's ice. Last year, in 2013, we returned to experience the wonder of the aurora borealis. It indeed was wondrous. The powerful lure of the north has drawn us back for another visit.
