Polar bears and Northern Lights in Churchill Manitoba
Churchill, located a 2 1/2 hour flight from Winnipeg, is the polar bear capital of the world. Best viewing is only in October and November. During this time, hundreds of bears move from their summer habitat on the tundra to the shores of Hudson Bay. This is where the ice packs form and provide access to the seals.
Polar bears have no fear and no natural enemies, which means you can get a very close look at these giant, curious creatures from your tundra vehicle. A fantastic way to see an overview of the tundra is by helicopter, where you can see caribou, polar bears as well as moose. If you have any extra time, you may even try a dog sled ride.
