MAHIKAN - The wild wolves of Far North Canada

“MAHIKAN” means “WOLF” in Cree Language (Native American Indians).



In the wilderness of Canada in winter, far away from any settlements or habitation, wolves are not hunted; on the contrary, they are curious and trusty.



After a long quest in sleds with the help of Indian Cree, along frozen rivers and forests, under extreme cold of temperatures, the reward came on the last afternoon of the expedition. We finally spotted a pack of nine Grey Wolves far away through binoculars. After going outside of our sleds, they finally came to me by curiosity, and surrounded us at a distance of a few meters only.



This was an incredible and unexpected encounter with a pack of nine grey wolves in the wild, a story of proximity, trust and respect between Man and Wolf.



Never photographed with such proximity, without hide or baits, you can fully feel the fascinating power of this wild animal, and the wilderness of Far North Canada in winter under a blizzard storm.
