		<description><![CDATA[The ice looks to be fairly good this year across much of the arctic and most reports are of a late spring (there was just a blizzard in Churchill yesterday&#8230;) so that&#8217;s more good news for the bears. There is a nice &#8216;floe edge&#8217; near Churchill right now, some pictures of seals basking in the sun are floating around. At this time for year, seals both will haul out on the ice to warm up &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.polarbearalley.com/blog/index.php/2013/05/08/polar-bear-blog-polar-bears-and-ice-scars/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

I&#8217;ll try to be a bit more eloquent than my last post but the message is still the same&#8230; I was pretty anti-hunting before this trip (and I guess I still am) but, man, there is something about a polar bear hunt that really gets inside you. Roland and I tracked bears for almost two weeks, following pressure ridges and open leads on the sea &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.polarbearalley.com/blog/index.php/2013/05/01/polar-bear-blog-different-polar-bears/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Here&#8217;s a story about how everything began in the meantime&#8230; From ‘Across Time and Tundra’, a history of the Inuvialuit People&#8230; Long ago, the Inuvialuit lands were not as they are today. Instead of countless rivers and lakes, the land was barren and mountainous, and game was very scarce. But the pingo or ice hill called Ibyuk, which today stands overlooking the town of Tuktoyaktuk, was already in existence, and on &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.polarbearalley.com/blog/index.php/2013/04/28/polar-bear-blog-about-a-pingo/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If this is posted, I’m still out on the land… will be back May 1st. Anyway, here’s a quick note from Kugluktuk… Coppermine! After all these years, I finally make it to Kugluktuk, practically arctic spitting distance from Bloody Falls… and I’m not even spending a day here. Crazy. Kugluktuk means ‘place of rapids’. The airport has signs of the Copper Inuit oral history and while there are many mentions of Hearne and Bloody Falls, &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.polarbearalley.com/blog/index.php/2013/04/25/coppermine-finally-sort-of/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

The no wind part being especially exciting. So, we went hunting for polar bear tracks. My guide, Roland Notaina, is really good &#8211; we must have navigated over 100 miles of sea ice today &#8211; the latter half in whiteout conditions.

		<description><![CDATA[So, how do you begin a quest for a grolar bear. Well, if the first step in an arctic expedition is a few hours on the phone with Aeroplan, the next step is usually a ‘weather day’. If so, we are right on schedule. A west wind has brought some fluffy snow and the light is pretty flat, I have my doubts we will leave today – then again, I was surprised to see the &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.polarbearalley.com/blog/index.php/2013/04/19/polar-bear-blog-heading-out-maybe/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Ulukhaktok, roughly translating as &#8216;way harder to pronounce than Holman&#8217;, is one of my favourite arctic places. Ulukhaktok, formerly called Holman, is a small community (maybe 300 people?) on the southwest corner of Victoria Island. The name actually translates to &#8216;place where material for Ulus is found&#8217; but I think that&#8217;s actually the &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.polarbearalley.com/blog/index.php/2013/04/18/polar-bear-blog-onward-to-ulukhaktok/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
