Newfoundland forms the North American continent's eastern edge and is a treasure trove of minerals. The forward-looking Johnson Geo Centre, which opened in 2002, is considered one of the world's foremost geological museums, featuring all kinds of interactive exhibits that are housed in an amazingly designed subterranean building. Hear the stories of Newfoundland's ancient volcanoes, more recent glaciers, and rocks from the center of the earth.
You'll stop at Signal Hill for a photo opportunity and a panoramic view of the rugged coastline and picturesque harbor. Located at the headland of St John's Harbor, it is the site where Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal. Enjoy the rugged beauty and check out the Cabot Tower, built to commemorate John Cabot's voyage of discovery.
