Churchill’s Polar Bears & the Canadian Arctic to New York - Cruise & Land Journey

Churchill is situated along Manitoba's 1,400 km coastline, on Hudson Bay at the meeting of three distinct ecological areas, marine, boreal forest, and tundra, each supporting a variety of flora and fauna. It is most famous for the many polar bears that move toward the shore from inland in the autumn, leading to the nickname "Polar Bear Capital of the World." There are also opportunities to see polar bears in the non-winter months, with tours via boat, visiting the coastal areas where polar bears can be found both on land and swimming in the sea. Be sure to get a bears’ eye view of the stunning coastal landscape. Read more about Churchill, Canada
