Newfoundland was an island in North America visited by the First Doctor and Viking Eric the Red.
History
In 1002, the Doctor's TARDIS landed in Greenland due to a leak in its plutonium battery. The nearest Plutonic ore was located within Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Doctor enlisted the aid of Viking Eric the Red to retrieve the plutonium. Once the Doctor and Eric succeeded, they went off to what would eventually become Nova Scotia. (PROSE: Who Discovered America? [+]Loading...["Who Discovered America? (short story)"])
At the British Empire Exhibition in October 1924, Rose Tyler saw fox furs on display which came from either Newfoundland or Canada. (PROSE: The Clockwise Man [+]Loading...["The Clockwise Man (novel)"])
Behind the scenes
In the real world, Newfoundland was one of the earliest European colonial settlements in North America. Newfoundland would later become a colony of England and the United Kingdom, becoming a Dominion some time before the First World War. Newfoundland and Labrador eventually joined Canada, as a province, in 1949.
In TV: Smile, writer Frank Cottrell-Boyce named the Vardy after Newfoundland swarm robotics professor Andrew Vardy.[1]
