Newfoundland is home to a large population of moose, which were introduced to the island in the early 1900s. These majestic creatures can be seen roaming the forests and open landscapes, often around dawn or dusk. With their impressive size and distinctive antlers, moose are a must-see wildlife attraction for visitors to the island.
Newfoundland is renowned for its stunning icebergs, which drift down from the Arctic and can be seen along the coast, especially in spring and early summer. These massive, ancient ice formations create a dramatic sight against the backdrop of rugged cliffs and clear blue waters. The island is also home to spectacular fjords, carved by glaciers over thousands of years. A tour of Newfoundland’s icebergs and fjords promises a truly unforgettable experience of natural beauty and geological wonder.
