Useful Links

Churchill is the 'Polar Bear Capital of the World' and the only human settlement where polar bears can be observed in the wild - it lies right in the bears' migratory path. Our tours here are planned for October and November, at the time of the annual migration towards the Cape Churchill area. The bears generally spend the summer along Churchill's coastline. As winter approaches they begin to move towards the Cape, which is where the sea freezes over first and as soon as the ice is thick enough, the bears head north where they spend the winter hunting.
