Manitoba is one of Canada's Prairie Provinces, the only one to stretch from grassy plains bordering the United States in the South to Arctic Tundra along Hudson's Bay in the North. Prairie, yes, but flat, no: Manitoba's relief is a map of valleys and bluffs where American Bison and white-tailed deer roam. The capital city of Winnipeg sprung out of an old Cree and Assiniboine fur trading post, and the province is dotted with other reminders of Europeans who came to settle a land very different from their own. The native Cree presence is still felt throughout a province that is rich in First Nations and colonial history.
Though much of the province is tamed grassland or farmland, Manitoba hasn't managed to tame the weather: Each winter, close to 200 centimeters (80 inches) of snow blankets the province to the North. The Shores of Hudson's Bay in Manitoba's North-East are home to Polar Bears, and some companies out of the town of Churchill offer polar bear-watching tours from the safety of specially-equipped vehicles.
