You may be saying to yourself: Ice? In June? But don’t forget where this incredible story occurred: the farthest northeast corner of Northern America. In fact, Newfoundland and Labrador is so far north that Greenland is practically a neighbor (as you can see on this map).
In Labrador’s subarctic climate, winter temperature readings below −40 °F are not uncommon. Just a little bit north of Mallory and Cliff’s coastal location, the province is sheer tundra year-round. Between December and June, the Labrador coastline is largely covered in ice.
