CHURCHILL

The town of Churchill ("Polar Bear Capital of the World"), on Hudson Bay, is the world's only easily accessible human settlement where polar bears can be seen in the wild. Thousands of visitors travel to the town with a population of 1100 every autumn during the polar bears' migration season. In summer, hundreds of beluga whales feed and raise their young in the mouth of the Churchill River and in the bay. Churchill is also renowned for its northern lights or aurora borealis and excellent birding opportunities. Seals can also be seen in the harbour and caribou are frequently sighted along the coast. This is truly the last great wilderness frontier. Explore and experience your wildest dreams!
