St. Anthony is the largest population center on the Great Northern Peninsula, although it has only about 2200 residents and the population has been steadily decreasing in recent years. Fishing was once the main revenue source for the community, but the fish population has become somewhat depleted. Now tourism is the predominant industry, as people visit to see whales and occasionally icebergs, neither of which appeared during our short stay.

We did see several moose, always a thrilling sight.
The views of sea and land were always dramatic, and the fishing shacks were quaint.
The jaw bone of a whale was most impressive.
