Yesterday, we arrived at our first destination on our vacation across Canada. When my parents told me that we were coming here, I laughed, and told them that no such place exists. My dad then told me to look up 53 15'N by 60 20'W, and lo and behold, there it was. The population is 7572, but the population density is only 25/km.
It is really cold right now, -17 C currently, and I'm told that the temperature stays stable all winter. But I'm also told that Happy Valley Goose Bay (HVGB) has pleasant summers- about 15 C. HVGB is in the Taiga Shield, which means that it is much more northern than St.Catherines.
I just saw the most beautiful thing ever! Have you ever seen the Aurora Borealis? It is truly a breathtaking sight! The closest national park is the Torngat Mountains, and tomorrow we're going hiking and snowmobiling. If it were summer, then we could go canoeing, or kayaking, or hunting, or fishing. Other than tourism, the other industries are mining and forestry. Tomorrow, we head for Killarney, Ontario.
