Webresource: Polar Bear Cam Moves to Cape Churchill

Dear WildCam Fan,

Polar Bear Cam Moves to Cape Churchill
In order to bring you the best possible views of polar bears, our Polar Bear Cam team has packed up their gear and is moving their camp to Cape Churchill, deep into polar bear territory. The Cape is a congregation point for many bears, and our last opportunity to observe the polar bears before they head out onto the ice of Hudson Bay. A reconnaissance team was sent out to survey the area near the Cape.

At least 41 males were seen–many larger than 400 kg! The live broadcast from Cape Churchill begins tomorrow, Friday, November 16th.

Polar Bear Cam: Live Video Almost at an End
Be sure to catch as many views as you can of the Polar Bear Cam before the season closes! The Tundra Buggy team will keep the live broadcast from Cape Churchill going for as long as they can – weather permitting. We hope to have the live video up for at least one more week, possibly longer.

Polar Bear Cam Blog: Through The Lens
Our blogger, Patrick King, has posted his last comment – he is a high school student after all, and has had to return to school! We thank his teachers for allowing him to join us in the classroom of the great outdoors. Be sure to check out the polar bear pictures and posts from this young, award-winning filmmaker who guest-operated the camera for this year's Polar Bear Cam. Patrick is a graduate of Polar Bears International 2006 Leadership Camp.
