Churchill is a town on the shore of Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Canada. It is most famous for the many polar bears which move to the beach from inland in the autumn. Churchill is referred to as "The Polar Bear Capital of the World", but the bears are not the only attraction. You can explore the arctic tundra along the Hudson Bay coast and venture into the treeline of the vast Boreal forest of the Canadian Shield. A major seaport and railroad stop on the shore of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Manitoba is a four season ecotourism destination, with attractions that include bird watching, beluga whale watching, white bear tours, northern lights, and other activities in its marine, tundra, and boreal forest ecosystems.

Each year from October through early November, hundreds of polar bears move from the inland area to gather on the immense peninsula. If you visit Churchill during October of November, then you definitely see your fill of polar bears, when upwards of 300 "Lords of the North" wait along the shores of Hudson Bay for the ice to freeze.
