Labrador Sea and Skies
A big land with big adventures.
Labrador, known as The Big Land, is one of the last untamed, unspoiled places
left on Earth. It stretches from the Strait of Belle Isle in the south to Cape Chidley
in the far north, boasting towering mountains, massive rock faces, and an infinite
supply of lakes and rivers. Here, you’ll find fresh air, crystal-clear waters teeming
with whales and icebergs, and people rooted in culture and tradition.
The Expedition 51º driving route is an epic tour through immense stretches of
unspoiled Labrador wilderness. It winds in and out of towns and villages where
you can discover the history and culture of a people deeply rooted in tradition.
Torngat Mountains National Park is a mysteriously beautiful landscape reminiscent
of the Earth a million years ago. This is where outdoor aficionados can indulge their
passion with 9,700 square kilometres to hike, canoe, photograph, snowmobile,
and cross-country ski.
Abundant in wildlife, Labrador is home to some of the best angling on the planet.
Trophy-sized brook trout, Arctic char, ouananiche, and northern pike are regular
sights. Local tour operators can help you find a great spot, and serious anglers
can visit AnglingNewfoundlandLabrador.com for more extensive excursions.
Under a blanket of magical northern lights, the winter months bring with them
the hum of a thousand snowmobiles carving through the untouched wilderness.
And the quieter winter pursuits like cross-country and downhill skiing, ice fishing,
and winter camping are always good for the body and soul.
