Over het boek
Enjoy an adventure to Churchill, Manitoba to witness the annual migration of the World's largest land carnivore, the Polar Bear. Churchill is called "The Polar Bear Capital of the World" and is the best place to see this impressive creature; truly one of nature's most magnificent.
This narrative gives you an idea of what a wildlife tour is like to a very remote location including the travel involved in getting there, the weather encountered, and the people participating. The book is not meant to be an academic book by any means, but more of a travel log that will encourage those that have never been on this adventure to perhaps join one in the near future, and to help those who have been to remember what a great experience it was.
