On an island at the edge of North America lies a province which a very rich history, lush and lucid with breathless sites. With a coastline of about 28,900 km, accounting for than 10% of Canada’s entire coastline and only second to Alaska in the world, there is so much of water to see in Newfoundland from edges, cliffs and hills, the beauty of the earth appeal to the curios and inept mind alike. Newfoundland and Labrador is a cradle of beauty, an epitome of warmth and an impressive embodiment of nature such that the average Newfoundlander and Labradorian has not seen enough of its beauty.
From the Cape Spear, the easternmost point in Canada, to the Signal Hill where the first ever transatlantic radio signal in human history was received by Guglielmo Marconi, to the Geo Centre, about 400km from where the Titanic sank making the city the closest city on earth to the Titanic accident crash, to the Witless Bay and bay Bulls that host whales and the largest colony of puffins in North America, a whopping 260,000 and second largest colony of Leach’s storm petrels of about 620,000, to the Irish loop that winds close to the coast line to the west, and to the frontier features of Labrador, the awe is unexplainable.
