第16天 Sunday, Aug 17
Cape Spear.
Signal Hill, Signal Hill周邊健行.
紐芬蘭的首府St.John's位於紐芬蘭東部, 人口二十萬人, 是紐芬蘭第一大城. 紐芬蘭早在十六世紀就被伊麗莎白一世的英國占為殖民地, 幾百年間幾次被法國和荷蘭短暫占領. St.John's城也就經曆了幾次毀滅和重建. 由於這裏是北美大陸的最東端, St.John's從英法北美戰爭, 美國獨立戰爭, 美加1812年戰爭, 第二次世界大戰, 直到現在曆來是重要的軍事重地.
Cape Spear(北緯47度31分14秒, 西經52度37分26秒)是北美大陸的最東端.

1901年,馬可尼(Guglielmo Marconi)在信號山以風箏為天線拍發了第一封越洋電報。這是現代通信的重要裏程碑。
