Information About

Great Northern Peninsula





TOPOGRAPHY

The Great Northern Peninsula can be divided into two main topographic areas, the high Plateau called the Long Range Mountains and the low-lying coastal areas around which all of settlements can be found. The Long Range Mountains are a mixture of steep mountain valleys with spectacular Fiords leading to the sea and mountainous areas dotted with many lakes and rivers. The northern end of the peninsula is indented by a large bay called Hare Bay . The south and eastern end of the peninsula are mountainous, while the western end has a costal plane in the northern half and deep fiords in the southern half.

Gros Morne National Park is located on the peninsula.
