For those that live in Canada or anywhere else in the world a true experience that everyone should try and embark upon exists. The adventure in question, is one you will have when embarking upon Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours. It is a way to see these magnificent animals up close and to learn more about them. All of these tours are led by experienced guides.
The land has shallow soil because of the subsurface soil and the rock formations. One of the few trees that manage to grow there are the Black Spruce which is slow growing and is evergreen. It grows to about fifteen metres and the trunk is about 50 centimetres in diameter when fully grown.
Over the decades these magnificent creatures have been hunted and their numbers have declined. In the last few years there have been strict control over the hunting and slowly the population has increased once more. For many arctic people these bears have and will always remain very important to their way of life.
Constantine John Phipps who was born in 1744 and died in 1792 was an explorer in the Royal Navy. He was the first to describe these animals as a species and chose their name due to the habitat they lived in. They are found mainly in the Arctic Circle and adjacent lands as far as Newfoundland. This is a large island in Canada off the east coast of North America.
The polar bear tourism business started in the 1980s. During the October and November period thousands of these grand creatures wait on the neck of land until the water in the Hudson Bay freezes over so that they can go back to hunting. During the so called summer months there are also tours available where one can see these animals both on land and swimming in the water.
The Lazy Bear Lodge has cabins made out of black and white spruce with at least one feature of a twisted log. All the logs that are used to build the lodge are recycled from forest fire kill and many are one hundred and fifty years old. There are two stories with the first floor having sixteen rooms and the upper floor with seventeen rooms.
Another sight that many go to witness is the Beluga whales also known as the White whale. They do not have a dorsal fin and have a lump at the tip of its head. The male can grow up to eighteen feet in length and weigh about one thousand and six hundred kilograms. It is estimated that there are about one hundred and fifty thousand of these creatures and the majority spend their winters in the Arctic ice cap.
Churchill Polar Bear Tours are a great get away for the whole family to enjoy. Animals that can be seen range from the Walrus, Bison as well as the Moose. Each of these is done in a Tundra Buggy and if one is lucky enough the Northern Lights can be seen.
