Churchill Manitoba is the Polar Bear Capital of the World Bears have been known to migrate right up the main street

Churchill, Manitoba - This town has earned its reputation as the Polar Bear Capital of the world. It's right on the migration route of the bears who like to come into shore during the warm summer months, and then head back out onto the ice flows of Hudson's Bay to feed on seals over the winter. Around the month of October as many as 100 will migrate near town, occasionally one will walk right up the main street. There's even a Polar Bear Jail where unwanted guests are accommodated until the ice on Hudson's Bay is solid enough for them to continue their journey. Special giant-wheeled tundra vehicles take tourists out for safe viewing/photography sessions. Photograph courtesy Travel Manitoba.
