The snow whipped tundra fields and capes east of the smal town of Churchill, in Manitoba, Canada is the best place in the world to see polar bears. Here the bears gather in large numbers during their last weeks on dry land. The annual freeze-up arrives at the Hudson Bay around Churchill earlier than anywhere else. Hunting better on ice than on land the polar bears can’t wait for the ice blocks to form. They gather from hundreds of miles usually in late November to wait out the last 3-4 weeks before the Hudson Bay freezes.
