Churchill, Manitoba

Churchill is a sub-arctic port town in northern Manitoba on the west shore of Hudson Bay. In late October, polar bears congregate at Cape Churchill waiting for Hudson Bay to freeze over. Once winter comes, the bears move out onto the ice to hunt for seals, their favorite food. Charlotte traveled there with International Wildlife Adventures. The photographic tour leader was Richard Day of Daybreak Imagery.
