From as far back as the Village Elders can remember, legends are told that when the Polar Bears arrive, the Eskimo Hunters will have good luck and catch a whale. Whaling starts in early September and the Polar Bears make the 150-mile swim from the icepack to the mainland around that time. The villagers use the whale meat and blubber for subsistence and share the rest with the bears. As many as 20 bears can be seen at a time in several areas. A few bears stay around some years through the winter but the highest concentrations are mid September through mid November. Trips depart Anchorage and fly via Fairbanks to one of several Inupiat Eskimo Villages located on the shores of the Beaufort Sea 250 miles North of the Arctic Circle. Estimated time in Polar Bear country looking for bears is 5 to 6 hours per day, a double cab 4-wheel drive truck is utilized for transportation on site.
