Where do polar bears live? Polar bears are forever linked to the Arctic sea ice, where they hunt their seal prey. The bears are found in five nations: the U.S. (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Greenland, and Norway (Svalbard). Scientists have divided them into 19 populations, some of which are shared by more than one country.

Each fall, hundreds of polar bears gather along Canada's Hudson Bay, waiting for the sea ice to form and their seal-hunting season to begin. It's the largest gathering of wild polar bears anywhere on the planet! Guided by expert naturalists, our small-group nature adventures get you closer to polar bears, in greater comfort and safety, than anyone else.
