Crossing the Strait of Belle Isle
The Strait of Belle Isle is the body of water separating the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland and the Southeast Coast of Labrador. The Strait has a strong current dominantly along the Labrador coast line, this current is known carry several icebergs and pack ice from the North Atlantic to the Bay...
