Newfoundland Photos

 

Last week, we took a long (2,800 miles) road trip from New England to Newfoundland. We were there a week. Here are a few photos. Above is a dinky iceberg near L'anse aux Meadows, the viking settlement, on the western tip of Newfoundland. 

In Gros Morne National Park, there's a tour of the deep freshwater fjord Western Pond. (All of the fjords are called ponds.) The fjord is surrounded by massive rock mountains and there are many waterfalls as you take the two hour boat trip there.



June is iceberg month.

A piece on Inuit art carved from bone seen in St. Anthony's.

Me, in the middle of the "Meeting of Two Worlds" sculpture at L'anse aux Meadows. This depicts the first contact between the Vikings and the First Nations people. It did not go well.

Baby moose by the road.

Unfazed caribou.

Pickled wieners for sale in the St. Anthony grocery store. I'm not gonna try 'em. You try 'em.
