Lonely Planet review for Wapusk National Park

Established primarily to protect polar bear breeding grounds (wapusk is Cree for 'white bear'), the remote and young Wapusk National Park extends along Hudson Bay's shores 45km east of Churchill. Its location between boreal forests and arctic tundra gives it importance for monitoring the effects of global warming. Changes in sea-level, temperature, vegetation, and polar bear and other animal patterns happen here first.

The park's ecological sensitivity has required a lot of proactive thinking and red tape. It's possible to visit, but only through licensed tour operators.
