LABRADOR CURRENT#Oceancurrents◇ The Labrador current, an example of cold current, originates in the
Baffin Bay and
Davis Strait and after flowing through the coastal waters of
Newfoundland and
Grand Bank merges with the
Gulf Stream around 50°W longitude.
◇ This current brings with it a large number of big icebergs as far south as Newfoundland and Grand Bank.
◇ These icebergs present effective hindrances in the oceanic navigation.
Dense fogs are also produced due to the convergence of the Labrador cold current and the Gulf Stream near Newfoundland.
