Answer: Labrador.

The island of Newfoundland covers 111,390 square kilometres, while Labrador covers 294,330 square kilometres. That means Labrador accounts for nearly three-quarters of the province's land area. 

And there's a lot within that space. In southern Labrador, visitors can reach Red Bay's UNESCO-listed Basque whaling site, the historic community of Battle Harbour and the lighthouse at Point Amour. Farther inland, the Trans-Labrador Highway connects Labrador City with Happy Valley-Goose Bay and the south coast. The north is a different proposition: communities such as Nain are not connected by road, and Torngat Mountains National Park at the northern tip of Labrador is reached by boat or chartered aircraft. There, mountains and fjords rise along the Labrador Sea in the homeland of Labrador Inuit.

Answer: Cape Spear, just outside St. John's.

Its position on the edge of the Atlantic has shaped its history. A lighthouse began operating here in 1836 to guide ships approaching St. John's and it remains the oldest surviving lighthouse in Newfoundland and Labrador. Generations of the Cantwell family lived and worked here as lightkeepers.

During the Second World War, the cape became a coastal defence site, with two large guns installed to protect the entrance to St. John's Harbour from German submarines and raiders. Today, the old lighthouse, gun emplacements and bunkers remain at the site. A trip to Cape Spear makes for a nice hike.

Answer: About 17 kilometres.

The Strait of Belle Isle separates Labrador from Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula, but it also connects the two parts of the province. A year-round passenger and vehicle ferry crosses the strait between St. Barbe, Newfoundland, and Blanc-Sablon, Quebec, just across the provincial border from Labrador. The 36-kilometre crossing takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes aboard the Qajaq W. Winter sailings continue, although ice and weather can affect the schedule.

Once across, travellers can follow Route 510 through the communities of the Labrador Straits and onward along the Trans-Labrador Highway.

Answer: At the Tablelands in Gros Morne National Park on Newfoundland's west coast.

The rusty orange mountains look strikingly different from the green landscape around them, and there's a reason: the rock beneath your feet formed in the Earth's mantle, a layer normally found deep below the crust. About half a billion years ago, the collision of ancient continents forced this mantle rock upward. Hundreds of millions of years of erosion eventually exposed it at the surface.

You don't need to be a serious hiker to see it. The Tablelands Trail is an easy, four-kilometre return walk, following an old roadbed along the base of the mountains to a glacier-carved canyon. Parks Canada also offers guided "Walk Upon the Earth's Mantle" hikes, and you can see the landscape while driving Route 431 between Woody Point and Trout River.

Gros Morne itself is about 30 minutes from Deer Lake airport or roughly four hours by car from the ferry terminal at Port aux Basques. The park is large enough that visitors commonly stay in surrounding communities such as Rocky Harbour, Norris Point, Woody Point and Trout River.

Answer: At the northern tip of Labrador, in Torngat Mountains National Park.

The mountains rise directly from a landscape of deep fjords and broad tundra valleys, with some peaks topping 1,500 metres. The highest, Mount Caubvick/D'Iberville on the Labrador-Quebec border, reaches 1,652 metres. More than 40 small glaciers remain in the mountains, the only glaciers left in eastern continental North America.

The park covers about 9,700 square kilometres between northern Quebec and the Labrador Sea, but there are no roads or marked hiking trails within it. Most visitors travel through the Torngat Mountains Base Camp and Research Station near the park's southern boundary. Getting there typically involves reaching Happy Valley-Goose Bay, taking a charter flight north to Saglek and then travelling by boat or helicopter to base camp. 

But the Torngats aren't simply a remote wilderness destination. They are the traditional homeland of Labrador and Nunavik Inuit, who have travelled, hunted and lived throughout these mountains, valleys and fjords for centuries. The national park was established through agreements with Labrador Inuit and Nunavik Inuit and is cooperatively managed with Inuit partners. From base camp, visitors can join excursions into the park with Inuit guides, travelling by boat and on foot through the same landscape.
