Please join us on an exclusive WWF Legacy Circle journey to Churchill, to experience one of the most remarkable natural wonders on Earth—the congregation of hundreds of polar bears awaiting their annual return to the ice.

Positioned on the shores of Hudson Bay, Churchill is a unique Arctic community with a rich history and spectacular scenery. High levels of polar bear activity are typical this time of year. From spirited play-fighting between males to the powerful show of force that a protective mother displays when sheltering a young cub, you will see firsthand how the bears' behavior is dynamic, regal and whimsical.

Since 1992, WWF's Global Arctic Program has been working with our partners across the frozen north to combat threats to the region to preserve its culture and rich biodiversity. In Canada, WWF works to minimize conflicts between polar bears and local people by taking measures to keep the bears away from local villages—saving the lives of both bears and people. We also support projects to monitor and research polar bear populations that are showing signs of stress as climate change.
