Show Labrador and Britain Labrador extends across nearly the same latitudes as the British Isles, but the shores of Britain and Ireland are washed by a current northbound from the tropics, while the icy waters of the Arctic flow down past the irregular northeastern northeast-ern coast of North America. There is, therefore, a vast difference in climate. The British climate is for the most part comfortably temperate, temper-ate, with winters usually milder than those which prevail in Ohio. The Labrador climate Is described as very severe, cold and stormy. Toward the north its forests gradually grad-ually diminish, the upper part of the country consisting of bare tundras. tun-dras. The Labrador winters are rated bearable and healthful, due to their dryness. |
