The "Appalachian" geographical region of Canada includes her Atlantic provinces- New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The nature of this area was formed by violent, prehistoric upheavals of the earth's crust, which left shallow shelf waters and thousands of bays along the Atlantic coastline. Thus, was created one of the world's richest fisheries, and a rugged landscape so exemplified by picturesque Indian Cove, Nova Scotia.
