It’s called the Big Land, and with 293,000 sq km sprawling north toward the Arctic Circle, it’s easy to see why. Undulating, rocky, puddled expanses form the sparse, primaeval landscape. If you ever wanted to see what the world looked like before humans stepped on it, this is the place to head. Adding to the Great Northern effect, four huge caribou herds, including the world’s largest (750,000 head), migrate across Labrador to their calving grounds each year.

Inuit and Innu have occupied Labrador for thousands of years, and until the 1960s the population was still limited to them and a few longtime European descendants known as 'liveyers’. They eked out an existence by fishing and hunting from their tiny villages that freckled the coast. The interior was virgin wilderness.
Over the past few decades, the economic potential of Labrador’s vast natural resources has earned it a new degree of attention. Companies have tapped into the massive iron-ore mines in Wabush and Labrador City and the hydroelectric dam at Churchill Falls.
The simplest way to take a bite of the Big Land is via the Labrador Straits region, which connects to Newfoundland via a daily ferry. From there, a solitary road – the stark, rough Trans-Labrador Hwy – connects the interior’s main towns. The aboriginal-influenced northern coast is accessible only by plane or supply ferry.
Note that the Labrador Straits (not including the Québec portion) are on Newfoundland Time, while the rest of Labrador (starting at Cartwright) is on Atlantic Time, i.e. 30 minutes behind Newfoundland. Québec is on Eastern Time, which is an hour behind Atlantic Time. These variations can make ferry and airplane schedules a headache.
