Polar bear watching, Churchill, Hudson Bay, Manitoba
Who doesn't love polar bears? Truth is, global warming means within the next few decades the world's polar bear population is expected to rapidly plummet. With an environmentally mindful operator, you can see polar bears live in Churchill, on the Hudson Bay in Manitoba Province, Canada.
"I think people are very aware of the fact that it is a shrinking population," and this is driving increasing numbers of tourists to pay visits to the region, said Katherine Foxcraft, the product manager for Fresh Tracks Canada, a travel company that works with Churchill's polar bear specialists.
The best polar bear viewing is generally in October and November, as Hudson Bay begins to freeze and bears take to the ice for hunting. Some outfitters have vehicles with protected viewing platforms to allow photographers to safely take close shots of bears who might even try to climb aboard.
Other companies have remote lodges in the middle of bear territory. "The bears come all the way up to the fence," of the lodges, said Foxcraft.
Bears can be as curious about visitors as visitors are about them and do wander into Churchill itself, a potential danger. An interesting quirk of the town is that most cars are unlocked, allowing an easy escape from approaching polar bears. They might look cute, but they're still bears.
Winter festivities in Quebec
The Great White North becomes a French-kissed winter wonderland in Quebec Province, Canada. Carnaval de Quebec is one of the oldest of the world's winter festivals, with its 2013 edition, the 59th, running from February 1 to 17. There's everything from dance events to ice sculpture contests.
If that's not enough winter for you, head to Montreal's winter festival, expected to attract more than 900,000 people this year. Called Montreal en Lumiere, or Montreal in Lights, it will run this year from February 21 to March 3. Activities range from cuisine to music and other forms of entertainment.
Montreal is also paying homage to a nearby U.S. cultural capital this year with a "New York on Ice" Snow Village. Stay overnight in all that icy goodness in the village's 25-room ice hotel, which has meeting rooms for events and boasts the 100-seat Pommery Ice Restaurant.
Alaskan ice fishing
The thrill of Alaska's wild frontier combined with the pleasure of fishing is what Fishtale River Guides offers outdoor enthusiasts,
The outfitter, run by Andy Couch, takes visitors fishing throughout the year. Most of their ice fishing takes place in Mat-Su Valley about 40 miles north of Anchorage.
"Our ice fishing season is only constrained by ice conditions. We can usually safely fish starting in late November around Thanksgiving Day," Couch said.
This year ice fishing trips started much earlier in November, but a very warm season may mean waiting to ice fish until late in December, he said. The season usually lasts into late March or early April.
The thrill of fishing here has both to do with the size and quantity of the catch.
"The largest landlocked salmon we caught on an ice fishing trip was likely about 16 inches. In the summertime, the largest king salmon taken by my guests have weighed in at 56 pounds."
Most of the tour participants are locals from Anchorage, making it a great way to get to know Alaska. Beyond fishing, there is nearby skiing, dog sledding and snowmobile tours, as well as airplane flights to see the wilderness.
If you really want ice, there's no place like Antarctica, the frozen continent. It's perhaps the most otherworldly experience a traveler can have while still on Earth.
Oceanwide Expeditions, a Dutch company with an office in Houston, has trips that pass from Ushuaia in Argentina's most southern Patagonia.
Their Atlantic Odyssey cruise is the ultimate in ice vacations, lasting nearly 40 days, with visits to the Antarctic peninsula, the South Shetland Islands, South Georgia and the South Orkney Islands.
The trip also includes visits to slightly warmer and equally exotic islands such as Tristan da Cunha, St. Helena, Ascension Island and Cape Verde.
Antarctica is rich in wildlife, from whales to sea lions to Emperor penguins and many other species of birds. Zodiac boats allow for passengers to get close to the animals, with expert guides explaining the wildlife.

All right now in Texas the Republican primary battle following up a familiar pattern this election year -- status meant.
First is the Tea Party voters would choose a candidate to replace retiring senator Kay Bailey Hutchison.
And -- question whether or not the lieutenant governor David Dewhurst described as a moderate Republican.
We'll get the majority needed to prevent a run off with the Tea Party favorite the State's former solicitor general.
Ten Ted Cruz I see more is on the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal wrote about this over the weekend this again we're seeing this pattern repeated south Steve.
But Texas is a very big state.
Not that the other station are important but -- sent it out Texas in this race that really caught your attention why is it.
By the way -- before we even talk about that we should note that Mitt Romney probably will be brought during the top.
Tonight -- have all the delegates he needs to be the official Republican nominee for president so that'll be one of the headlines out of Texas but the other big race is the one that you mentioned that you have the senate race where you have an establishment Republican lieutenant governor very powerful figure over the last ten years in.
Austin had around the state senate has a lot of money has the whole GOP team behind them and yet he can't seem -- get over the 50% hump because he's got two or three challengers the main one being.
A very popular conservative Tea Party backed candidate named Ted Cruz.
Was it was -- worked for.
Rehnquist on the Supreme Court was -- solicitor general was on the cover of national review magazine the darling of the conservatives so it's going to be really interesting to see tonight.
Whether Dewhurst can get over for 50%.
To avoid a runoff against.
-- fishing endorsements as well.
Have either side Dewhurst had.
Governor Mike Huckabee and that -- stories that's important -- out.
They take crews had to Sarah Palin endorsement -- know what you've been bigger because if you look at that previous races that we've -- In the last couple of months.
In Indiana and Nebraska where you had.
Upsets where you had that.
You know a six term as senator Dick Lugar -- being defeated by by can too Conservative Party candidate in both of those instances Jenna.
A key factor in Nebraska and Indiana was Sarah Palin coming in endorsing the upstart candidate.
And and just I think it was about a week ago she endorse Ted -- And that's given momentum to -- no question about it it would indicate she's a queen maker -- -- think -- is the king maker if you think that continues.
We'll see tonight won't wait I mean -- but you know is he said Texas big state.
You know Dewhurst has about twice as much money as as -- Ted Cruz does and that's.
-- is how -- got some criticism within the pages of your paper.
I had editorials and even the one that you wrote that noted something that.
Big east that maybe is not as indicative of other Tea Party clinically Tea Party candidates that stands out about hand that -- hasn't exactly jive.
Exactly the problem with Ted Cruz and I like him a lot I interviewed him spent a lot of time with -- as that editorial board has.
He does come across a battle it.
A little bit elitist you know Princeton Harvard -- Smartest guy in the -- when I talked to some of the activists in Texas that you know we'd like Ted Cruz police coming and know it all you know and and people don't like that in their politicians whether an hour.
United posits that I -- I -- I guess I have to read about it.
A little bit -- -- -- the bigger point of the establishment vs the new guys that are coming in new guys and women as they both of them together and I'm just curious your thoughts.
After seeing a few of these primary elections about where the GOP is.
As he delegates when he -- mission Mitt Romney's -- a boost to claim the nomination.
But if you're at the critics the critics have said that the of the Tea Party is hijacked the GOP senate say it's been absorbed -- where -- subtle.
I wouldn't use that word -- I think there should still extremely influential you see that the races that -- happen in Nebraska and Indiana.
And you know what I see and a lot of these primaries is that a lot of people when I called the bubble Washington DC don't -- Is there's a lot of anger.
And there's a lot of frustration and impatience.
By the Tea Party people you know why did you vote to raise the -- -- why you bring that that's now what you know why -- you doing some but not -- former governor.
All these things have caused a lot of anger among conservatives in your seeing that these key races that's why tonight's race.
Is a critical lead indicator about how angry the Tea Party people are deep down south and Texas and as.
Powerful potentially.
As it's -- ten mid terms -- this -- -- cardiac that's what you're gonna see you know and when 2010 you -- not just more Republicans but more conservative Republicans elected.
If the Tea Party can follow up that that up with big victories in 2012.
-- of a much more conservatives not just -- more Republican senate but a more conservative.
You know pro taxpayer.
Senate that there's much more interest -- in the -- in the issues that they peep from Tea Party people.
You know cause them to really get angry and get involved in politics as -- can pop.
Exodus Italy says that that you re in my entry into the hands going to be a great that if I think -- you very much.

This collection of home and garden Buddha statues recalls an age in which peaceful meditation and contemplation were daily practices vital to health and happiness. The anchoring figure of our statue collection is Buddha, the world-renowned teacher, philosopher and spiritual leader who achieved enlightenment while meditating under a fig tree in ancient India. It is believed that by studying his calm gaze and serene posture, one may begin to unravel the mysteries of inner harmony and personal peace. Many people report that placing a Buddha statue in their environment strengthens awareness, encourages self-affirming attitudes, and enables concentrated meditative practice. These statues are made by artists all around the world and come in an abundance of sizes, styles, colors and materials, including garden Buddha statues. From glasswork to metal, from resin to stone, from ceramic to wood, from abstract to detailed, each statue can transform the space you live, work and play in.
