Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island
Coleman’s field work in Newfoundland and Prince Edward island revealed that eastern Canada’s glaciation was in harmony with that of the central and western parts of the continent.
He found that much of Newfoundland was glaciated in the Pleistocene during two periods. There was also some evidence that the northwest end of Prince Edward Island had been overridden by an ice sheet. The Magdalen Islands was not glaciated with the possible exception of a thin sheet of ice which might have covered the low ground of the islands.
