Discover one of the last untouched regions of the world. The 59th parallel, a sub-arctic land of the eskers and the pristine North Seal River, a Canadian Heritage river. Located in the ‘land of little sticks’, 60 miles south of the treeline and the Nunavut border, this incredible area is only accessible by airplane. A unique mix of diverse habitat and water, it is Manitoba’s prime location for the amazing sand eskers, as six eskers transverse this area including the historic Robertson esker. Gangler’s North Seal River Lodge, Manitoba’s only Orvis endorsed lodge, is based on Egenolf Lake, a main juncture for the North Seal. This is the epicentre of Gangler’s exclusive 5,000,000 acre concession with over 12 rivers and 100 lakes.

Travel to Churchill to begin your adventure. Churchill is the polar bear capital of the world and polar bears are found in northern Manitoba on the south western shores of Hudson Bay, at the mouth of the historic Churchill River. Churchill’s history is intertwined with the early days of Canada and the exploration of the Arctic. Cree, Dene and Inuit aboriginal cultures come together in this little community and the world famous Eskimo Museum houses one of the most comprehensive collections of Inuit artefacts and sculpture. Outdoor adventure is readily available with hiking tours, dog sledding, snowmobiling, kayaking, snorkelling and fishing all at hand in Churchill.

Polar bears are seen as early as July, but it is most common to see larger numbers of bears in October and November. This is due largely to the fact that the winter ice in Hudson Bay begins to melt in late June, forcing the bears back on land. The bears then migrate slowly along the coast towards the Churchill area, waiting for the ice to reform in late November. Once the ice is thick enough, the bears return back to the ice to hunt seals in order to restock the fat stores they used during the summer months.

The area is a year-round wildlife destination and arctic and boreal species of wildlife, birds and plants can be found along the tree line or the northern edge of the boreal forest. Commonly seen species include arctic and red foxes, arctic hare, caribou, gyrfalcons, snowy owls, ptarmigan and even the occasional lemming.
