Located at the edge of the historic Hudson Bay,
Churchill is situated at an intersection of four
environments. As the arctic tundra meets the
taiga, boreal forest and Canada's largest inland
sea (Hudson Bay), you will experience a unique 
variety of the northern flora and fauna in season.
We hope that we can help you make your visit to
Churchill successful and enjoyable and a once in
a lifetime experience.
