Newfoundland Peninsula

From Mardecristal

The Newfoundland Peninsula is a major landform on the eastern coast of North America.

The bell-shaped peninsula is connected to the North American continent by the Isthmus of Canso. It is separated from the Labrador Peninsula by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and from the eastern seabord by the Crystal Sea.

The most significant feature of the peninsula is the Blue Range of mountains, some of the steepest landforms on earth. They are generated by the collision of two tectonically separate landmasses, corresponding roughly to the peninsula's two political divisions, the countries of Mar de Cristal and New Wales.

Adjacent to the peninsula are the Saint Ursula Archipelago and Île Saint-Jude (a department of France) in the Crystal Sea; Isla de Alhelíes and Anglesey Island in the Atlantic; and Magdalen Island and Belle Isle in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The UK territory of Bermuda is south of the peninsula.
