The Polar Bear Capital of the World is found up in Canada. That is also where one will find many Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours available. The town is in northern Canada on the west shore of the Hudson Bay. It is a very famous place as there are many bears that move towards the shored from inland mainly in the autumn.
The tours are not only there to see the polar bears but to see the Beluga whales in their natural habitat well. The Ultimate Arctic Summer Adventure is a six night get away where one will be able to view over sixty thousand of these whales in the Hudson Bay as well as getting a view of the bears leaving the pan ice. One will board a jet boat and will be taken on a tour of the river estuaries and the Bay.
Over the decades these magnificent creatures have been hunted and their numbers have declined. In the last few years there have been strict control over the hunting and slowly the population has increased once more. For many arctic people these bears have and will always remain very important to their way of life.
Constantine John Phipps who was born in 1744 and died in 1792 was an explorer in the Royal Navy. He was the first to describe these animals as a species and chose their name due to the habitat they lived in. They are found mainly in the Arctic Circle and adjacent lands as far as Newfoundland. This is a large island in Canada off the east coast of North America.
The polar bear tourism business started in the 1980s. During the October and November period thousands of these grand creatures wait on the neck of land until the water in the Hudson Bay freezes over so that they can go back to hunting. During the so called summer months there are also tours available where one can see these animals both on land and swimming in the water.
The Lazy Bear Lodge has cabins made out of black and white spruce with at least one feature of a twisted log. All the logs that are used to build the lodge are recycled from forest fire kill and many are one hundred and fifty years old. There are two stories with the first floor having sixteen rooms and the upper floor with seventeen rooms.
Another sight that many go to witness is the Beluga whales also known as the White whale. They do not have a dorsal fin and have a lump at the tip of its head. The male can grow up to eighteen feet in length and weigh about one thousand and six hundred kilograms. It is estimated that there are about one hundred and fifty thousand of these creatures and the majority spend their winters in the Arctic ice cap.
Churchill Polar Bear Tours are situated in a town where there are only a few human settlements around. This is a popular place where many from all over the world come to observe these amazing creatures. The best time to visit is between October and November when the bears move from their summer habitat to their hunting territory.
