POLAR BEAR PROVINCIAL PARK


'Polar Bear Provincial Park' is an isolated wilderness park in the far north of Ontario, Canada. It lies on the western shore where James Bay joins Hudson Bay. The terrain is part of the Hudson Bay Lowlands and features unspoiled low-lying tundra.
Administered by Ontario Parks, Polar Bear is the largest park in Ontario at 23,552 square kilometres. It has no visitor facilities, is reachable only by air, and special permission is required before visiting it. Its primary purpose is the preservation of habitat for wildlife, especially the several hundred polar bears that migrate through the area. Visitors should be experienced in travelling in remote wilderness areas and be well prepared for any eventuality.
Polar Bear Provincial Park has been designated as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention since May 1987.
