Some journeys stay with you long after you leave—and my expeditions with Churchill Wild are exactly that kind of experience. I’ve had the rare privilege of visiting Churchill Wild twice, staying at both Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge and Seal River Heritage Lodge, and each trip deepened my appreciation for the Arctic and the people who guide us through it with such care and respect.

During my expedition to Seal River Heritage Lodge, I was guided by Terry Elliott, a seasoned polar bear guide whose calm presence, deep knowledge, and reverence for the land set the tone from the very first walk on the tundra. Churchill Wild’s land-based polar bear safaris are unlike anything else in the world—walking through bear country with a highly trained team of three guides, moving thoughtfully and deliberately through the landscape, always placing the welfare of the wildlife first.

Walking alongside polar bears in their natural habitat is both humbling and exhilarating, and Terry has a rare gift for making guests feel safe while also helping them truly understand what they are seeing. His insights into polar bear behavior, Arctic ecology, and life in this remote region transform each outing into something far more meaningful than wildlife viewing—it becomes a lesson in respect, patience, and presence.

In this conversation, Terry shares his remarkable journey from city life to the Arctic wilderness, what it takes to guide in polar bear country, and why these remote landscapes continue to shape everyone who experiences them. Whether you’re curious about Arctic safaris, conservation, or what it’s really like to walk in polar bear territory, this interview offers a rare and authentic glimpse into one of the world’s most extraordinary adventures.MORE: https://churchillwild.com/https://www.wesaidgotravel.com/churchill-wild-2024/https://www.wesaidgotravel.com/polar-bear-safari-churchill-wild-2024/https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv_jKkCiDQcQ9eCEyLewMLRRj45jFoNi6https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv_jKkCiDQcRzCsSyzfa6MS69qxHYSN5Thttps://www.wesaidgotravel.com/tell-me-more-about-walking-with-polar-bears/https://pasadenamag.com/feature/luxury-meets-wilderness-on-this-canadian-arctic-safari/
