A Visit to Churchill, Manitoba, During Polar-Bear Season

In northern Manitoba, Canada, the town of Churchill sits along the shore of Hudson Bay, just south of the Arctic Circle. The town has become world-famous for an abundance of polar bears, especially during the months of October and November. Carlos Osorio, a photographer with Reuters, has spent the past week in Churchill, taking photos of the bears, the town, and the frigid landscape, at a time of year when daylight only lasts about seven hours.

Canada and took the VIA train to Churchill. Saw lots of bears and had our Tundra Buggy break down, so got a much longer bear watching session!
