Churchill, Manitoba in Hudson Bay Coast is the place to begin. The polar bear capital of the world, where bears gather on the tundra each autumn waiting for Hudson Bay to freeze. Give yourself quiet time at dawn or dusk and keep your distance.
Canada context: Polar bears on the tundra, moose in the boreal forest, and some of the last great wilderness on Earth.
In Canada, look especially around arctic seas, estuaries, and ice edge. Those settings usually put you closest to where this species is active.
