| Churchill ManitobaPolar Bears – Churchhill,
Manitoba is is a town on the shore of Hudson Bay and is home to many
polar bears that move toward the shore from inland in the autumn,
leading to the nickname "Polar Bear Capital of the World”.
Churchill is a popular location for ecotourism, as well as for Arctic research. The town also has a health centre, several hotels, tour operators, some restaurants, a rail line and a shipping marine port with a large grain elevator.
Tourists can safely view polar bears from specially modified buses known as tundra buggies. October and early November are the most feasible times to see polar bears, hundreds of which wait on the vast peninsula until the water freezes on Hudson Bay so that they can return to hunt their primary food source, Ringed Seals. The Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) can be seen in late August and from December to late April in the night skies over Churchill, Manitoba.
