LABRADOR EXPLORER

July 10-22, 2008

This 13-day active adventure embarks in St. John’s, on the island of Newfoundland to follow the Labrador Coast to Ungava Bay. En route, you’ll visit L’Anse aux Meadows, where a Viking village predates the arrival of Columbus in North America by 500 years. Shore landings will be made in Torngat Mountains National Park Reserve, Canada’s newest national park. Our Expedition Team will contrast the cultures and languages of the indigenous people who live along the coast. We disembark on Baffin Island in the Nunavut capital, Iqaluit.
