I won't be convinced until the polar bears turn black and I can fry an egg on the top of my head in January.

On the other hand during Viking times the sea was perhaps 50 feet higher from melting of arctic ice, and the northwest passage was open winter and summer as it is now, at least in summer. The Vikings described magnificent beaches on the south coast of Nova Scotia that today are a half a mile inland. They landed in Chedabucto Bay. Chedabucto is an ancient norse word meaning bay or inlet. The mined iron from the North Arm of Newfoundland, coal from Baffin Island and Quarzite from south shore of Nova Scotia.

Son of a Beach



How are we to tell if this global warming trend, which seems evident to farmers I talk to and northern speciata, is not naturalalia? it has warmed and cooled some in the past ...

" The geological diversity doesn’t stop with Eatonville and at Squally Point we find the highest raised beach in the province, l00 feet above sea level. This is a legacy from the Ice Age, a result of the land rebounding with the melting of the glaciers faster than the rise in sea level. Further along, in Spicers Cove, younger cliffs of conglomerate crumbling to the touch, litter the shoreline with their resistant constituent stones. There are even small coal seams exposed near the beach. At Apple River the sandstone, a gently sloping shoreline, and the renowned Bay of Fundy mud have returned.

My fascination with Cape Chignecto has brought me back again and again during the past several years, and I sometimes bring along friends who think they have seen the best that the east coast has to offer. While tourists may round the Cabot Trail, sun on P.E.I.’s beaches or marvel at the Hopewell flowerpots, no sighs point the way here - to the most spectacular region of all."
