Newfoundland is the most easterly province in Canada with one of the lowest crime rates in the country. The city of Saint John�s is the capitol and Port aux Basques, on the west coast, is the docking port for the ferry from Sydney, Nova Scotia.

L'Anse aux Meadows, north of St. Anthony, on Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula is the only authenticated Viking site in North America. Remains of sod houses and artifacts used by the Vikings can still be seen at this site.

Newfoundland is not a small island. It is, in fact, the 16th largest island because it is more than three times the total area of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
