Hidden Land
In Canada's far northeastern corner, Labrador offers a transition from the windswept headlands of Newfoundland to the arctic landscape of Baffin Island. A region of hard-edged beauty, of icebergs, of rimmed coasts and remote lakes edged by black spruce forests. As one fisherman said Labrador is "one of the few challenges left in a world of wimps." Labrador is a land of unforgiving beauty.
Living on the Land
As with its island neighbor Newfoundland, early settlement in Labrador was tied to the sea as demonstrated by the Montagnais, Innu and Inuit, although these peoples also made significant forays throughout the interior as well. European settlement was largely concentrated in coastal communities.

A journey that followed National Geographic photographer Richard Olsenius along the fabled Northwest Passage. Olsenius was on the first American yacht to transit the Passage and the first ever to cross West to East.

Labrador Light
The long thin northern tip of Labrador holds the Torngat Mountains, named after an Inuit spirit believed to inhabit them. The mountains stretch along the coast from Port Manvers to Cape Chidley, the northernmost point of Labrador.
