Title: North Atlantic coast of Canada from Skylab
Description:
A high-oblique view of the North Atlantic coast of Canada (52.5N, 56.5W) as
seen from the Skylab space station in Earth orbit. The Strait of Belle
Isle, near the center of the picture, separates the Island of Newfoundland
from the Canadian mainland. The Strait also connects the Gulf of St.
Lawrence with the North Atlantic Ocean. The elongated land mass (lower
center) is the northernmost peninsula of the Island of Newfoundland. The
large land mass at left center is mainland Newfoundland and Quebec. Note
the sea ice in the Atlantic.
