Churchill is located on the far west coast of Canada. Over the past few years this has become one of the most sought over environmental holidays. If there was a dramatic change in climate, surely this would damage Churchill?

Churchill has become extremely popular and famous around the world, mainly because of the polar bears that travel inland during autumn. The polar bears then ram around as they want to, taking over Churchill. The fact that there are so many polar bears coming to here, means it has adopted the name, Polar Bear capital of the world. This has helped boost the tourist industry around the area, and now tour operators offer Canada tours dedicated to this area, to show people the stunning environment.

Churchill is an area known as an Ecotone. When you have several environments or climates close together, this is called an Ecotone. Churchill is on the border of three of these extremely different climates. To the southern region is the Boreal Forest, towards the north west you will find the Tundra like conditions, and directly to the north is the Hudson Bay area. This is one of the best locations in the world to see the Aurora Borealis. Not only does this area have all these attributes, it is also home to the Beluga whales in summer, over 57,000 of them, and has a very extensive amunt of bird fauna that cover the whole area.

Churchill has become extremely reliant on the tourism industry, but how long will it be able to support tourists. This means that is is in between three different environments and climates. There wont be any reason for people to visit here anymore, so the tourism sector will fail. Canada holidays benefit greatly from this environmental phenomenon, but how much longer will it last. Alaska Cruises also circle round to this area, so maybe that holiday is better sooner rather than later.
