First discovered by Viking Adventurers in the 10th century, the knowledge was lost for another 400 years, until British and French fishermen ventured far into the North Atlantic, and discovered one of the World's richest fishing grounds; the Grand Banks off of Newfoundland. Over the next 300 years the fur trade drove the exploration of North America, and fueled competition between the French and English for control of  the Continent. 

The name Canada,  was given to this land by the French explorer, Jacques Cartier - who misunderstood an Indian Chief's name for his village as that for this entire vast territory.

Occupying the top half of North America, Canada, is the second largest country on earth and is home to a unique assortment of animals and terrain. Key geographical features include The Rocky Mountains in Western Canada; the Canadian Shield and the St. Lawrence Seaway in Central and Eastern Canada.
