Twillingate, Canada
Twillingate is an historic fishing village situated on the shore of Notre Dame Bay.
This is a superb vantage point for watching icebergs older than our western civilisation as they float by, through the summer months, on the Greenland Current.
These waters are also home to a vast number of marine mammals, and whales can usually be seen by boat or from the shore at Long Point.
