Know Before You Go

The tundra is vibrant with life in summer—purple wildflowers dot the landscape, seabirds flock to nesting sites along the Hudson Bay and belugas gather in the nutrient-rich waters of the Churchill River to begin their summer feasting. About 40 mammal species live in and around Churchill (half are marine mammals) and approximately 200 bird species breed here during their annual migration. Click the links below to learn more about each species.
