Newfoundland Travel - Bell Island Mine Tour

Have you ever taken a detour from everyday life to travel 650 feet below the earth's surface? If not, well, why not? The Bell Island No. 2 mine, crafted through many long hours of manually digging and blasting for iron ore, allows you to do just that! This mine, opened in 1902, was one of the world's largest submarine iron ore mines in its years in operation. It closed in 1949 and reopened in its original state for tourism several years later. #bellisland #bellislandminetour

Newfoundland Travel - Concert Cruise
