On the shores of the Hudson Bay in northern Manitoba is the small town of Churchill, synonymous with polar bears. Each year they congregate in large numbers as they await the sea ice to form.
Polar bears spend the winter on the sea ice hunting seals and during the summer months they can be found lounging in the tundra and searching for berries and other “snacks” to tide them over until the return of the sea ice.
The town is now a hub for Arctic wildlife excursions, either from a tundra vehicle, from the air or for the most adventurous on foot – if you want to see polar bears close up then this is the place for you. Hundreds of belugas congregate during the summer months in Hudson Bay, and it is even possible to kayak and even snorkel with them. The small township of Churchill, the gateway to remote wildlife lodges, features the interesting Eskimo Museum and the Parks Canada Interpretive Centre, and slightly further out of town is the historic Prince of Wales Fort built by the Hudson’s Bay Company in the 1700’s.

Sue has a passion for polar bears and has seen more than most people can dream about.
