About Churchill
Churchill sits on the western shore of Hudson Bay in northern Manitoba, where hundreds of polar bears gather each autumn to wait for the sea ice to form. Conditions change fast: one day the willows hold bears sheltering from the wind, the next the bay freezes and they head out to hunt seals. These Churchill live cams come from Polar Bears International and explore.org, on Tundra Buggies near town and at Cape Churchill in Wapusk National Park.
Which Churchill webcam to check first
Start with Cape South and Cape East in Wapusk National Park, where mothers and cubs often rest in the snow. Buggy One is a roving camera on an electric Tundra Buggy, and the two Tundra Buggy Lodge cameras look out over the tundra near the coast. Bears are most active by day; at night the cameras switch to infrared.
Before you go to Churchill
Churchill has no road connection, so you arrive by train or plane, and bear viewing is done with licensed operators. Check Environment Canada's forecast and your operator's plans; the bear season ends once the bay freezes.
Live cameras and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. Check official weather, access and safety information before you make plans.
