Cape Bauld lighthouse

Fresnel lens of unknown order (probably 2nd order) atop a 15 meter octagonal concrete tower, built in 1962. The original lighthouse was established in 1871 on Cape Bauld at the tip of Quirpon Island at the top of the Great Norther Peninsula, overlooking Iceberg Alley. The lighthouse marked the southern limits of the Straits of Belle Isle, Newfoundland. It is a white light with a 0.5 sec flash every 15 seconds.

  • L'anse aux Meadows is thought to be the location of the first Viking settlement in North America. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In this image the visitor center is framed by the 'Meeting of the two worlds' sculpture, completed in two pieces, one by Newfoundland sculptor Luben Boykov and the other by Swedish sculptor Richard Brixel. The two elements of the 3000 pound bronze sculpture symbolically correspond to the geographic points of departure and landing of the Vikings, and their subsequent meeting with Aboriginal peoples.
