  • Surficial Geological Survey for Assessing Mineral Resource Potential, Great Northern Peninsula: Preliminary Results
    Current Research (2019) Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Geological Survey, Report 19-1, pages 211-225 SURFICIAL GEOLOGICAL SURVEY FOR ASSESSING MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL, GREAT NORTHERN PENINSULA: PRELIMINARY RESULTS S. Hashmi Terrain Sciences and Geoscience Data Management Section ABSTRACT A multi-year surficial-mapping and till-sampling program was initiated on the Great Northern Peninsula in the 2018 field season, with the objectives of completing detailed (1:50 000) surficial mapping, reconstructing glacial flow and detecting geo- chemical anomalies associated with known and unknown mineralization. The map areas are NTS 2M/12 (Raleigh), 2M/11 (Quirpon), 2M/05 and 2M/06 (St. Anthony) and 2M/04 (St. Julien’s). The study area has a complex bedrock geology owing to multiple regional deformation events, hosts numerous Zn (± Pb), Au, Cu and Ag occurrences, and was successively overrid- den by both the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) and the Newfoundland Ice Cap (NIC), resulting in a complex regional glacial flow. Ice-flow mapping, in conjunction with previous work, has resulted in a better understanding of the regional ice flow. Three distinct ice-flow movements have been identified in the study area: an early, east-southeastward movement, a sub- sequent east-northeastward movement and the final phase of north-northeastward movement. Preliminary surficial mapping identified marine diamicton, glaciofluvial sand and gravel, colluvial blankets and cones, and beach ridges. Frost polygon fea- tures in bedrock and poorly developed mudboil features in till were also documented, which reflect the subarctic climatic con- ditions of the study area. INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVES A regional surficial-mapping (1:50 000 scale) and till- Fieldwork objectives for 2018 were: 1) map the surfi- sampling program was initiated on the Great Northern cial geology of the study area; 2) identify the ice-flow Peninsula (GNP) during the summer of 2018.

TUCK* Newfoundland is a large island of 42,734 square miles situated in the North Atlantic Ocean between 46 ø and 52 ø north latitude. The Avalon Peninsula, its most southeasterly portion, is in the same latitude as the Bay of Biscay, France. Newfoundlandis some1,650 miles from the coast of Ireland, the nearest land in Europe. It is 850 miles from Cape Farewell, the most southerly point in Greenland. The physiographyof Newfoundland is quite similar to that of the adjacent Maritime Provinces. The coast is indented with bays and inlets and the island itself is a plateau which, sloping in a north- westerly direction, reacheselevations up to 1,500 feet in the almost mountainoushighlands along the west coast. A large part of the island's terrain is bleak and the soil is relatively shallow. In general, commercial forests are confined to the river valleys. Becauseit is on the eastern side of the North American continent, Newfoundland is influenced by continental air massesand exper- iences a wide range of summer and winter temperatures. More- over, as the island is virtually encircledby the cold waters of the Labrador Current, the sea moderatessummer and winter tempera- tures.

In tbe spring- of 1S87 the writer was detailed by Professor Baird to accompany tbe U. S. Fisb Commission schooner Grampus on a cruise to northeastern Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, primarily to obtain, if possible, bones of the Great Auk; secondarily to collect such other specimens as might be obtainable. Two years earlier Pro- fessor Baird had approved a proposed plan of visiting Funk Islaud, off Cape Freels, Newfoundland, a former breeding place of the Great Auk, in the hope of finding remains of that extinct bird, but the many difficulties in the way precluded carrying this plan into effect until the building of the Grampus and her projected trip made it feasible. From a scientific standpoint it was extremely desirable to secure bones of the Great Auk, since up to 1887 there were but nine skeletons of that species preserved in museums, only one being in the United States, while the U. S. National Museum possessed but a single bone. Even viewed commercially, a collection of Auk bones would be of considerable value, since the small number of existing specimens had caused them to bring a high price whenever brought into the market.! It was eminently fitting that a search for remains of the Great Auk should be undertaken in CDunection with fishery researches, since this bird once formed an important factor in the prosecution of the early * This report is supplementary to the paper by Mr.

On the day the war began in September 1939, Newfoundland was a dispirited British dominion-in-abeyance off the east coast of Canada. The Colony was ruled by a London-appointed Commission of Government and kept afloat by loans and grants from the British Treasury.2 However, Newfoundland’s standing changed dramatically in the spring of 1940 with Nazi Germany’s victorious Blitzkrieg through Western Europe. Only Britain stood defiant, and on the other side of the Atlantic, Newfoundland was now viewed, not only as Canada’s “first line of defence,” but actually “the key to the western defence system.”3 In a very short time, Newfoundland boasted five military and civilian 1 Bond to the House of Assembly, 30 May 1890, as recorded in Proceedings, the St. John’s Evening Telegram, 13 June 1890. He is, of course, referring to the strategically invaluable British outpost at the Western entrance to the Mediterranean Sea.

  • The Viking Trail
    The Viking Trail Newfoundland and Labrador offer a variety of experiences to those willing to make the trip. The following itineraries are designed to help you decide where to go and what to see while you visit the Great Northern Peninsula and southern Labrador sections of our province. Broken down by region, these tours offer history, culture, and sightseeing at every turn. Have a look. You're sure to find something of interest at every stop. 1. The Route to Newfoundland's World Heritage Sites An automobile cruising the Viking Trail is really a time machine that takes you to the beginnings of our planet, ancient native burial grounds, and the thousand-year-old Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site. Travel through wooded valleys, over mountains, along a windswept seacoast. This tour can take from two to ten days. Take your time, for time will tug you gently along the Trail, urging side trips to fjords and falls, sand dunes and fields of wildflowers. The Viking Trail begins at the intersection of Route 1 and Route 430 near Deer Lake. A side trip on Route 422 takes you to the agricultural community of Cormack. Named after the famous Newfoundland explorer William Epps Cormack, the first European to walk across the island's interior, this area was settled in the late 1940s by veterans of World War II. Families with previous farming experience who were willing to relocate were given 20 hectares of land, a six-room bungalow, and money for the construction of a barn, purchase of livestock and equipment, and to buy supplies for the first winter.

  • Fhbro Heritage Character Statement Cape Bauld Lighttower Quirpon Island, Newfoundland and Labrador ______
    FHBRO HERITAGE CHARACTER STATEMENT CAPE BAULD LIGHTTOWER QUIRPON ISLAND, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR ______________________________________________________________________________ FHBRO Number: 06-023 DFRP Number: 01729 Resource Name: Cape Bauld Lighttower Address: Quirpon Island, Newfoundland and Labrador FHBRO Status: “Recognized” Federal Heritage Building Construction: 1960-61 Designer: Department of Transport Original Function: lighthouse Current Function: lighthouse Modifications: no known modifications Custodian: Fisheries and Oceans Canada Description of Historic Place The Cape Bauld Lighttower is a tapered, concrete octagonal lighttower, topped by an octagonal, aluminum lantern. The gently tapered walls of the tower are painted white and rise to a flared cornice, above which a railed observation platform surrounds the red lantern. A vertical row of three windows with simple, concrete lintels runs up one side of the lighttower. The Cape Bauld Lighttower is located in a rocky, barren landscape on the northern tip of Quirpon Island at the northern entrance to the Strait of Belle Isle. The lightstation is visible from L’Anse-aux-Meadows National Historic Site and World Heritage Site, located on the mainland. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building. Heritage Value The Cape Bauld Lighttower is a “Recognized” Federal Heritage Building because of its historical associations, and its architectural and environmental values. Historical value: The Cape Bauld Lighttower is a very good example of the theme of aids to navigation in Canadian waters. As a landfall light with a range of 17 nautical miles located on the northern tip of Quirpon Island, it guides international and coastal shipping at the northern entry to the Strait of Belle Isle. The importance of a lighttower at this location is emphasized by the fact that the Dominion government built the first tower here soon after Confederation in what were then non-Canadian waters.
