Cape Spear Lighthouse In Newfoundland, Canada Stock Image

With over 29,000 kilometres of twisting coastline, laden with submerged rocks, hidden inlets, and monolithic icebergs, it`s little wonder that Newfoundland and Labrador has several hundred navigational lights clinging to its craggy shores. For centuries, explorers navigated our coastline without the benefit of GPS, coast guard, motors, or even electricity. They counted on our lighthouses and their keepers for guidance in the thickest fog and darkest night.
