World Tour 049-Halifax to Cartwright - Atlantic Canada

Welcome to stage 49, and a journey through the rugged beauty of the Atlantic Provinces of eastern Canada. Starting in Nova Scotia (Latin for New Scotland), you'll explore this beautiful peninsula before heading east to Newfoundland, the world's 16th largest island and part of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. A treasure trove of seaside villages, picturesque bays and coves and low lying mountains populate the island, and the beauty continues north along the Atlantic coast of Labrador as you head north to the destination for this stage, the small community of Cartwright
