Polar Bear Hotel
The Tundra Lodge Rolling Hotel
-The Tundra Lodge Rolling Hotel is a unique hotel that allows one to view polars bears in the wild at very close distance
-The hotel is not too far from Churchill, Manitoba which is the polar bear capital of the world
-Every fall the tundra lodge is constructed and placed in a specific spot that guts into the hudson’s bay that is known for high polar bear density
-There are around 800 polar bears in the region which come down the Hudson’s Bay on blocks of ice that are being blown by the prevailing winds from the north
-Those blocks of ice will eventually hit land on the southern shore of the hudson’s bay right around Churchill
-The polar bears at this point are all fattened up from hunting seals all winter long.
-The bears wait at the shore around Churchill until November when the ice gets cold and the ice begins to freeze again. Seawater has a lower freezing point than freshwater, so the bears wait around the Hudson Bay coastline near Churchill because the churchill river runs north into the hudson bay. That fresh water will freeze first creating a new hunting raft for the polar bears
-Now how the Rolling Lodge works is you would fly to Winnipeg, Manitoba where the staff of the Rolling hotel is located. They equip you with a parka and boots and take you onto the a private jet that flies to Churchill
-Once arrived a polar rover will take guests to the rolling hotel
-The rolling lodge was constructed by a local resident of churchill, Don Wachowski
-There are different train car buggies with different functions
-These train car buggies are not actually a train, but more like conga line of busses that are attached
-The first buggy is for staff, it’s their living, sleeping, relaxing quarters
-Buggy 2 has a full kitchen and mess hall with master chef Toby. The remaining 2/3rds of space in this car is filled with tables and chairs for meals.
-between the different buggies is a caged in viewing area that is open to the outdoors that gives a great view of the polar bears
-The 3rd car is filled with seats and a drink station
-4th and 5th buggy cars have 4 showers each flush toilets, and 32 bunk beds attached to the hallway.
-This is where adventurers that want to see the polar bears stay.
-The polar bears can be viewed from windows throughout the tundra lodge
-The buggie is high enough off the ground that the polar bears can’t actually attack a person
-It’s even possible to view the polar bears from your bed in your sleeping cabin
-A tundra rover is kept at the lodge at all times which goes out during the day for Northern Safaris looking at different polar bears doing polar bear things
-Polar bears are very solitary creatures but during November and December around Churchill is one of the only times and places on the planet where polar bears are forced into a small area as they wait for the ice to freeze over. The result is that guests can potentially see young bears playing with each other which they would never otherwise do.
-The amount of bears around the lodge can vary from 1 to 20 polar bears
-This tundra hotel isn’t just for great bear sight seeing, the northern lights light up the sky, when there aren’t clouds of course as well as an incredible sunset.
-Other creatures that can be seen are arctic hare, arctic fox, snowy owls, and willow ptarmigan
-If this is a trip you’re interested in, you might want to book it sooner than later. Every year the earth is getting warmer and polar bear numbers are dropping as the ice melts.
-A 6 or 7 day stay in the rolling hotel will cost around $7000 or $1000 a night. While that might seem expensive, where else can you sleep with wild polar bears walking around you?
