Laurentian Channel

The Laurentian Channel is an underwater valley located off the eastern coast of Canada, specifically between Newfoundland and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. It was formed during the last Ice Age when glaciers carved out deep troughs in the Earth's crust. Today, it features a series of underwater ridges and channels that influence ocean currents, marine life habitats, and local ecosystems. The area is significant for its rich biodiversity, including fish and invertebrates, making it important for fisheries and marine research. Its unique geological history also provides insights into past climate changes and glacial activity.
