About Churchill

Churchill is a small town on the west shore of Hudson Bay in northern Manitoba, Canada, at the mouth of the Churchill River. It is widely known as the Polar Bear Capital of the World for autumn polar-bear viewing on the tundra, and in summer for beluga whales in the Churchill River estuary. The settlement of under a thousand people has no road link to the south; travellers arrive by air or by the Hudson Bay Railway.

The Port of Churchill, Canada's only deep-water Arctic seaport, sits on the bayfront with grain elevators and cargo berths and is also used by occasional expedition cruise ships. Nearby landmarks include Prince of Wales Fort National Historic Site across the river mouth.

Climate
At Churchill, mean daily temperatures average about −25°C in January and about 13°C in July, with an annual mean around −6°C. Annual precipitation is about 448 mm, heaviest from July through September. Winters are long and severely cold; the short cool summer is the main cruise season on Hudson Bay.
