The first light of dawn in North
America falls upon the cliffs and fjords of Newfoundland and Labrador
each morning. This is a rugged land and people shaped by weather and
sea. Labrador is one of the world’s last great, unspoiled wilderness
areas and, combined with Newfoundland, comprises an area one and three-quarters
the size of Great Britain.
This is a land of caribou herds 450,000 strong; icebergs in summer;
puffins; whales; northern lights and national parks that will take
your breath away. From the bustle of Water Street (the oldest street
in North America) in the capital of St. John’s, to the solitary
isolation of a 160 year old lighthouse at Cape Spear, Newfoundland
and Labrador are unlike any other province in Canada and any other
place in the world.
