Newfoundland and Labrador
With towering peaks, vast landscapes, and 17,000 kms of rugged coastline, Newfoundland and Labrador displays wild, open spaces and grand spectacles of nature. In the captivating land, massive icebergs drift lazily align the coast, whales swim in sparkling bays, and moose graze placidly in flat open marshes. Newfoundland’s west coast offers some of the most dramatic landscapes east of the Rockies. The granite mountains of Gros Morne National Park shelter deep fjords, while the eastern part of the island has a more rounded terrain, featuring the bays and inlets of Terra Nova National Park. Part of the area’s appeal is retracing the history of past cultures that have settled here, including Maritime Archaic Indians at Port au Choix, Vikings at L’Anse-Aux-Meadows, and Basque whalers at Red Bay in the Labrador Straits. There are many good locations around the coast of Newfoundland including the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve where excursions are available. It is possible to see whales passing the coast from the land as well as by air and boat trips. It is possible to see up to 20 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises.
