                    In the Area

                     Notre Dame Bay is known as the place where 15,000 year old icebergs from the north meet many species of whales migrating from the south. As the warm gulf stream meets the cold Labrador current it creates one of the richest marine environments in the world.


                    The sea abounds with plankton and small fish, the basis for an ecosystem supporting some of the largest and most diverse sea bird colonies in the world. The abundance of food organisms also attracts many species of whales, including North Americas largest summer concentration of humpback whales. Icebergs; the abundance of these spectacular sculptures along Newfoundland’s east coast has given this area the name “Iceberg Alley.”


                    Come see the whales, icebergs, sea birds, and the beautiful rugged coast line!
