The land that gets the first rays of the sun, the eastern-most province of Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador is home to people from all across the globe. It has a relatively small population when compared to the other provinces and its own land area. However, Newfoundland and Labrador are famous for their many beautiful gifts of nature. It is truly a place of juxtapositions – from mighty whales to magnificent icebergs and from stunning coastlines to modern culture, everything majestic and unbelievable.
