the isthmus of avalon connects newfoundland's avalon peninsula with the rest of the island. this is a bleak and exposed part of the island, with ocean on either side of a narrow (5 km / 3 mile wide) strip of land. trees tend to grow only in sheltered areas and their trunks typically tilt, indicating the direction of the prevailing winds. as in this photograph it is almost always misty on the isthmus.
