Twillingate Island: gem of the north east coast

A small island in the North Atlantic, Twillingate is one of the most picturesque outports in all of Newfoundland and Labrador. Located on the edge of what is known as Iceberg Alley, Twillingate is affectionately known as the Iceberg Capital of the world. Many of these 10,000 year old iceberg giants float by quietly each year and people travel great distances just to chance a glance.
