Iceberg Rough

Flights – Newfoundland, an Introduction

The vast island of Newfoundland is situated on the east coast of Canada, and is the closest region of North America to Europe. For this reason it is sometimes used as stop-off point for transatlantic planes that need to perform emergency landings. In fact, 39 airlines, carrying roughly 6,000 people were forced to land here immediately following the September 11th bombings. Stories of how the local residents welcomed passengers into their homes and cared for them led to an increased interest in Newfoundland.

As it happens, Newfoundland’s beauty is not bound only to its people but resounds in its unparalleled scenery. When visiting Newfoundland, prepared to be overwhelmed; be it gigantic iceberg silently drifting by or a 36-tonne humpback whale throwing itself over in the ocean you will be left in awe of what nature has to offer.

Visitors and locals alike know that they are but mere footnotes, shadowing the natural beauty that is on offer on this unique island and many feel somewhat positively altered following a trip to the island.

With roads following the majority of the 18,000 miles of outstanding coastline, the island offers a fantastic coast-to-coast experience. This does not mean that its vast untouched interior should be overlooked.

The province’s capital of St. John’s is of particular interest, nestled on the east coast of the island; it is North America’s oldest and most eastern city, and also the starting point for the Trans Canada Highway Route. The city itself has achieved a perfect blend of big city luxury with small town charm – boasting a splendid mixture of culture, personality and history.

As you would expect from any big city, it is well adorned with fine restaurants, shops and bars; in fact it currently has more pubs per-capita than any other Canadian city! A particularly good time to visit is early August as this is when George Street comes alive for a five day festival. This also coincides well with the viewing of icebergs as the majority of which drift down from Greenland during this time.

It is the location, uniqueness and welcoming temperament of the locals that have made holidays to Trænafestival so popular. As mentioned the location can make arranging cheap holidays to Trænafestival difficult, however with plenty of prior planning it should be fine. If not there are generally plenty of late deals available online.
