If you do apply for the jobs at the Churchill Northern Studies Center and take a position this could be your view from the facility. Of course this strange polar bear season has run unusually long and been on a kind of late cycle. Very soon ice will solidify for the winter and polar bears will migrate out to the Hudson Bay ice surface for seal hunting. Stay tuned for more news on the freeze – up.

Two incredible late polar bear season photos from Katie de Meulles in Churchill! The temperatures have dropped dramatically and now it will be only a matter of time and cold before all the polar bears head to the Hudson Bay ice – pack. This has surely been the most unusual polar bear season in Churchill in a long time. What a season!

Daisy Gilardini from Vancouver took this phenomenal image near Wapusk National Park in Manitoba just outside Churchill. The well know denning area allows seasonal travel for photographers to capture exquisite polar bear family scenes like this one. The photo titled Motherhood was taken last March. It was selected as the grand prize out of 20,000 submissions in an international photo contest and will as a result will be on display for a year at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington , DC,

Alex De Vries – Magnifico took this incredible Churchill sunset through the boreal forest on the outskirts of town. Sunsets are pretty amazing this time of year in the Churchill region! Polar bear season is surely the time to see diverse wildlife, especially polar bears, though the sunsets are second to none in our opinion! Enjoy.
