Polar Bears Alaska

Grizzly Bears, Bald Eagles and pods of Orca Whales congregate near the Knight Inlet on their annual migration. Bears head to the rivers for a feast of salmon and whales journey south to warmer summer waters to give birth before returning in the autumn to the cooler, northern waters. Meanwhile, another migratory trend is taking place in Churchill where the Polar Bears are gathering to find food when the Hudson Bay begins to freeze as winter approaches.
