Wapusk National Park

[gentle music] Northern lights illuminate the night sky in the north of Canada.

That is how close the Wapusk National Park on the Hudson Bay is to the Arctic Circle.

Only very close to the polar regions, north and south, do these lights appear.

Up here in the so-called ice cellar of North America, summer lasts only a few short weeks.

By the way, polar bears are not nearly as nomadic as had been previously thought.

Many of the animals around the Hudson Bay live almost territorially.

The Wapusk National Park is the largest birth cave area for polar bears in the entire Arctic.

After about eight months pregnancy, polar bears give birth to their young during the winter.
