Newfoundland

Newfoundland has served as an Atlantic cultural crossroads within Canada since joining Confederation in 1949. This large island off Canada’s Atlantic coast is edged by deep inlets, headlands, coves and long-established fishing communities; White Bay cuts into its northern shore. Inland, the Long Range Mountains form the northern reach of the Appalachian system. Gros Morne National Park protects a remarkable section of this terrain, including the Tablelands, where rocks from Earth’s mantle are exposed. English, Irish and French influences endure in local speech, music and traditions, while the cod fishery has long shaped coastal life.
