Labrador - Links to other sites

Some links to other sites about
Labrador and the Trans-Labrador Highway (TLH)

There are some very interesting photographs on some of these sites.  Also a lot of good information about Labrador and the TLH.

Please note that some of the information about road conditions on these sites is out of date, since the rebuilding of the Trans-Labrador Highway was only just completed during 1999.
