Canada is a vast and appealing
land of contrasting landscapes. Popular with tourists worldwide as a dream
destination. The Canadian Shield, a rock formation, curve from the
Amundsen Gulf southward and eastward across the top of the Prairie
Provinces, around Hudson Bay to the Atlantic Ocean and encompasses most of
Ontario and Quebec and all of Labrador.
The beautiful
Innuitian Mountains, named after the northern indigenous people, are
largely unexplored due to the harsh climate. Other superb natural regions
waiting to be explored are the Appalachian Region, Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence Lowlands, Interior Plains, and the Cordilleran Region. Prominent
mountain peaks are Mount Logan, Mount Fairweather, and Mount Columbia. Of
course one must not forget Canada's most beautiful lakes, Great Lakes
(partly in Canada), Great Bear Lake, Great Slave Lake, and Lake Winnipeg.
Delightful Baffin island is Canada's major island.
