Sept 10, 2025: Croker Bay(Tallurutiup in Inuit), Nunavut Canada(day 8)

Today we were scheduled to go to Dundas Harbour but because of weather and sea conditions we went to Croker Bay instead. We didn’t get a chance to go kayaking but did get to go on a zodiac ride.

Today we saw our first polar bear. It was quite a far distance away but we did see it. They look for a beige bit of ice that’s moving- that’s how they find it. Later in the day we saw a different polar bear with her two cubs.

While on the zodiac ride we saw more fun icebergs and for the first time we saw sea ice where the sea is starting to freeze. By the middle of the winter, the ice will be around 6 feet deep!

Polar Bear- very fun to see even if it’s at a distance

The polar bear and her cubs went into the water and you can see it would be difficult to tell a polar bear from an tiny bit of ice
