    Polar bear territory

    With more than 1,000 polar bears living within its borders, Wapusk National Park in Canada’s northeast Manitoba Province is unrivalled for its opportunities to view and photograph the world’s biggest land predator. Located along the shores of Hudson Bay, this vast lowland also acts as one of the largest maternity denning areas in the world; mother polar bears have perforated the landscape with more than 1,200 dens.
