Last October we travelled to Churchill, Manitoba for 5 days to try for polar bears. The first 4 days gave us terrible weather with constant 40-50mph winds, blowing snow, and of course cold temps. What bears were around were not moving and we saw a few but very far away, at least for my camera gear. We did have some nice encounters with Red Fox and what they call Cross Fox (a color variation of the red fox). One curled up Arctic Fox, a few Ptarmigan, and Arctic Hares were also seen. The very last day the wind was at a more manageable level and the sun was partially out! Driving around we finally had a nice encounter with a Polar Bear walking up the coast line. It really was beautiful.

So these are some of the photos from our trip...

Wow, that black-faced fox is stunning - I would love to come across one of those.

These are all great photos and it sounds like you earned them. I especially liked #1 of the bears in the snow and #5 of the fox.
