Top reasons to visit the Arctic in November
By November temperatures in The Arctic have plummeted, bringing an end to the summer tourist season. In coastal areas the sea ice is re-forming, encasing the region once again in its icy grip.
This phenomenon leads to the largest accumulation of polar bears around Churchill each year, the Polar bear capital of the world, and near guaranteed sightings as they wait for the ice of Hudson Bay to re-freeze.

As winter rapidly sets in, October and November are peak polar bear spotting months in Churchill as they wait for the annual freeze of Hudson Bay.
