Extended Seal-Hunting Season For Polar Bears

Apr 25th, 2011

As the late Winter, otherwise known to most of us “Southern folk” as Spring, churns on in the Churchill region, a few more breaks in the ice, known as leads, appear. The temperatures have remained fairly steady the past week or so with minus 20?s C filling the air most days. Some scattered snow showers have kept the snow around the area looking fresh with a white top-coat.

The consistent cold bodes well for polar bears hoping for an extended season of seal-hunting on the Hudson Bay ice pack.
