ITINERARY & Pricing

Polar Bears of Churchill - Churchill Northern Studies Science Centre (CNSC)

November 11-18, 2023

This is THE place to see polar bears as they make an annual migration across southern Hudson Bay to wait for the first ice to form in November. Polar bears need sea ice as a hunting platform. Their main, most important food source are seals. Come learn about their biology and see them up close on the tundra. I will conduct climate talks on site to tell you what’s changing in the arctic & subarctic and why they are so at risk & what we’re learning. Please join me on this arctic adventure! ~ Sven
