Discover the Tundra & Hudson Bay in the Peace of Early Fall
Autumn comes early to the Canadian North, and it's a magical time in Churchill, where seasonal shifts bring a chance to spot polar bears, beluga whales and the northern lights on the same adventure. By late August, the subarctic air turns crisp. The emerald green of high summer on the tundra has become a tapestry of burgundy, russet and gold—and a photogenic backdrop for a creamy white polar bears in the foreground. We may see roaming mothers and cubs, anticipating the freeze-up of Hudson Bay in late fall when they will move onto the sea ice for hunting season. Hundreds of friendly white beluga whales still crowd the Churchill River until mid-September, when they start to migrate north out of the bay and into the Arctic Ocean. And with daylight diminishing and darkness returning, the aurora makes her appearance again, dancing among the stars when night skies are clear.
