In a realm ten times the size of Yellowstone, where the Kaska Coast meets the boreal forest, an extraordinary expedition unfolds. Though pack sizes run smaller, the stability of late winter creates perfect conditions for observation and photography. The frozen Hudson Bay extends to the horizon, while the crisp air carries wolf song across the silence. These are intimate moments of discovery, as pairs bond and establish territories across this vast wilderness.
In November, a different drama emerges. Wolf packs reunite after their summer dispersal, testing their skills against prime bull moose and tracking the rhythms of their prey across the unfrozen landscape. As the bay begins its transformation toward winter, each day brings new insights into pack dynamics and hunting strategies.
Join National Geographic photographer Jad Davenport in pioneering research that seeks to understand these remarkable creatures. Our high-ratio team of experts and coastal scouts coordinate daily safaris that contribute to our understanding of wolf populations and behaviour patterns.
Between wolf encounters, witness moose moving through ancient forest trails and other wildlife sharing this unique ecosystem. When the night sky clears, the aurora borealis might paint its ethereal colours across the stars.
Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge. The diverse ecosystem surrounding Nanuk is home to Canadian icons such as polar bears, black bears, wolves, and moose.
