Churchill leads to the nickname “Polar Bear Capital of the World” which has helped its growing tourism industry.

During the fall for polar bears, they make their way across the tundra and through Churchill to spend Winter in Hudson’s Bay because they enjoy the cold weather.

If planning a trip when polar bears are out, be ready for the cold conditions.
