The Newfoundland Mystique

Description

We are on the edge of North America. Here the Vikings lived, briefly, their only location in this part of the world. This is England’s oldest colony and Canada’s newest province. With the North Atlantic at our doorstep we are home to Iceberg Alley, one of the best places in the world to view icebergs. We are one of the most spectacular whale watching places in the world. We are home to  millions of seabirds. Moose and caribou live here too.The isolation and demanding environment of this province have helped produce qualities such as unusual dialects, quick wit, a ready sense of humour, and distinctive music.  Our scenery is stunning, in interest and beauty. But ugly natural and other disasters have occurred here too. It is all part of the Newfoundland mystique that author Neil Payne captures so well in this interesting, informative and easy to read book.
