The time to see polar bears in northern Manitoba, Canada is right about now. Between mid October and mid November. That’s when the water freezes on the Hudson Bay and the bears congregate along the shoreline waiting for the ice to be strong enough so that they can go hunt for seals. As the water rises and falls, large boulders of ice form and are left behind. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 240mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/250th of a second
