Day 3
& 4 - Polar
Bear Viewing
Today is spent touring by
Tundra Buggy® to view Polar Bears. What is a Tundra
Buggy? Picture in front of you this huge wheeled - I
mean huge, like 5 feet high huge, wheeled vehicle. Sitting
on top of the wheels is this huge, I mean huge, wide-bodied
enclosure. The vehicle includes a propane heater, a toilet
facility and, for all intent and purposes, comfortable
seats, windows (that open) and a large observation deck.
Alas, now you have a Tundra Buggy® that allows you to go out
on the tundra, in relative comfort and safety to watch and
photograph polar bears.
Enjoy a farewell dinner with the group.
