The Arctic tundra is one of our planet’s most stunning wildlife habitats: an endless snowscape in the winter that bursts with life when summer arrives, drawing migrating species such as caribou, beluga whales, and—most famously—polar bears. Travel to the Canadian Arctic this summer to experience this habitat and wildlife up close, using an Arctic research facility in Churchill, Manitoba, as your base. Choose between the Photography and Wildlife Conservation track, and delve into your focus area. Set out with a program expert, leaders, and peers to learn more about the unique adaptations that allow species to survive the extreme Arctic conditions and how they and the communities that live there are coping with a changing climate.
