This area is in the southeastern part of Newfoundland. The landscape is entirely different from the rest of the island. The mountains are heath covered rock and steep cliffs with many lakes, ponds, and, of course, the ocean.







These islands are called burnt islands because of the reddish seaweed surrounding them. They are really quite unusual.








This is Rose Blanche lighthouse. It was built in 1871 from a nearby granite quarry by local workers. It was used from 1873 until the 1940's. It is the only restored granite lighthouse in Atlantic Canada.

This is the little fishing village of Rose Blanche. It is typical of the fishing villages we have seen throughout Newfoundland. It was first used by migratory French fishermen and was permanently settled around 1810.
