About
An awe-inspiring sight off of Canada's easternmost coast! Order today!
Rising up from the crashing waves of the North Atlantic Ocean, Newfoundland and Labrador boasts spectacular coastal scenery in which land and sea seem tovie for attention. Whether standing on a bluff or the shores of a fjord-like bay, Canada's eastern edge offers endless vantage points for gazing outat the waters that are teeming with marine life. Whales, seals and seabirds delight with their seemingly playful nature; but in late spring, towering icebergs draw many to Iceberg Alley, where the silent passage of these glacial giants is enough to leave one feeling spellbound.
The former Dominion of Newfoundland became Canada's youngest province on March 31, 1949. Historically known for its fishery, the province has a diversifiedresource-based economy and a thriving cultural scene that adds to its reputation as one of the friendliest places to live. The natural wonders of Newfoundland and Labrador reflect the geological history of a land shaped by wind and sea, water and ice, even continental collision and drift. From the soaring Torngat Mountains of northern Labrador to the Tablelands in Gros Morne National Park, landscapes of unspoiled beauty await in Canada's easternmost region!
