General information about St. John's
The 27th Workshop on Electromagnetic Induction in the Earth and Planetary Bodies will take place in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, in the St. John's Convention Centre.
"Perched on the eastern tip of Canada, St. John’s is a vibrant blend of history, natural beauty, and warm hospitality. From the colourful row houses of downtown to the rugged coastline of the Northeast Avalon Peninsula, our region offers a perfect mix of urban energy and outdoor adventure. Explore lively arts and culture, savour extraordinary local cuisine, and wander streets where centuries of maritime heritage meet eclectic sophistication. Skirt dramatic cliffs, set sail alongside whales and puffins, or simply soak in the first sunrise in Canada. Here, strangers quickly become friends, tall tales flow as easily as the sea breeze, and every encounter adds to a colourful tapestry you’ll never forget." … destinationstjohns.com
