Polar Bears, Canada

One of the largest concentrations of Polar Bears in the world occurs at Churchill, in Wapusk National Park, on the shores of Hudson bay, just prior to the big winter freeze when the bears can find their way out onto the sea ice to hunt seals. They are hungry, having been virtually fasting for 8 months. The 2 weeks before the freeze starts is a wonderful opportunity to see the bears up close; including mums with cubs from 2 seasons, males and younger males practicing their sparring.
