It is amazing how close newfoundland is but so cold!


I just measured. Black Tickle is 1934 miles from my house and it has 5 months of below 0c weather!

It is amazing isn't it? Labrador at the same latitude as the English-Scottish border is tundra whereas over by your area it's full of grass and trees.

North pole is 3500 miles away from my house, but every so often it feels like it's 500 miles away. Hooray epic fail lowest tree line in the world on my continent. Where I live now at 40°N, completely buried under glaciers during the last ice maximum. 40°N! Imagine Spain being buried under an ice sheet. Whereas in Europe, the maximum extent of glacier cover was the Channel

Well you are wrong. The highlands of scotland has a subarctic climate and the treeline is 500m so it isn't that big of a difference. I'm sure we would have tundra if we were attached to the arctic too.

I can't help but feel like you are bragging.

Labrador's tree line is down to sea level, not 500m. There is no subarctic or alpine area in the UK, not according to Köppen
