The south shore of Hudson Bay is home to the most southerly polar bears in the world. It’s also a vital feeding ground for millions of snow geese as they fly south from their breeding grounds in the high Arctic.

Hudson Bay is more of a sea than a bay at approximately 1,370 km (850 miles) long and 1,050 km (650 miles) wide. Despite being on the same latitude as Scotland the winters are bitterly cold and the sea is frozen for half of the year making it a haven for ice loving beluga whales and polar bears.
