This eastern Canadian province is known as The Rock. Welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll continue our travel series with a look at Newfoundland and Labrador.
Facing the North Atlantic Ocean, Newfoundland and Labrador <abbr title="se compose de">comprises</abbr> the island of Newfoundland and the mainland of Labrador. With a total area of over one hundred1Faced1 and fifty thousand square miles, the province has a total population of over five hundred thousand inhabitants, with the majority living on the island, especially in the capital city St. John’s. Since Newfoundland’s climate is affected by the <abbr title="environnante, qui entoure">surrounding</abbr> sea, this can lead to cool summers and <abbr title="frais">brisk</abbr> wet winters. Winters1Summers1 in Labrador are extremely cold with the South experiencing brief but moderate summers.
The province’s diverse and <abbr title="magnifique">stunning</abbr> natural landscape includes miles of coastline, mountains, rivers and dense forests. Arctic tundra and icebergs are also visible in some areas.
All this wilderness makes Labrador the perfect home for a wide variety of wildlife that includes whales, sea birds, and bears. You’ll find some of these in the Torngat Mountains National Park where visitors1actors1 can also participate in numerous outdoor1indoor1 activities and see inuit <abbr title="monuments">landmarks</abbr>. Thousands of <abbr title="élans">moose</abbr> and caribous can be found1thrown1 in Newfoundland Gros Morne National Park where you can go hiking in the Tablelands during the warmer seasons. If you’re looking for some winter sports, head to one of the province’s <abbr title="station">resort</abbr> for skiing or snowboarding.
For something a little different, you can try <abbr title="faire de la tyrolienne">zip lining</abbr>, riding a snowmobile or dog sledding.
Fishing is one of the province’s biggest industries, so it’s no surprise that Labrador’s home to fishing villages like Redbay and the nineteenth century summer fishing station Battle Harbour. Be sure to take the opportunity1ability1 to savour some fresh seafood.
When it comes to historical sites, you’ll find numerous protestant missions in Labrador such as Hebron and Nain. The eighteenth century settled community of Cartwright is connected by the Trans-Labrador Highway to Blanc Sablon, Quebec where a ferry can be taken to Sainte-Barbe, Labrador. Near the town of l’Anse Amour, you’ll find one of the province’s many lighthouses: the nineteenth1eighteenth1 century Point-Amour lighthouse.
Don’t forget to experience some traditional culture by taking in live music or <abbr title="assister à">attending</abbr> a festival with historical <abbr title="reconstitutions">reenactments</abbr>.
If you want <abbr title="sauvage">rugged</abbr> natural landscape, <abbr title="variée">assorted</abbr> wildlife, <abbr title="innombrables">countless</abbr> outdoor adventures, and fascinating historical and cultural1cultivating1 activities, Newfoundland and Labrador has it all and more.
