The Labrador Current is a cold ocean current that flows southward along the coast of eastern Canada, primarily from the region of Labrador to Newfoundland. It is part of the larger North Atlantic Ocean circulation and plays a significant role in regulating the climate of the surrounding areas. The current is formed by the melting of ice and cold waters from the Arctic, contributing to its low temperatures. This current influences marine ecosystems by bringing nutrient-rich waters to the surface, supporting diverse marine life, including fish species like cod and herring. Additionally, the Labrador Current interacts with the warmer Gulf Stream, creating areas of upwelling that enhance productivity in the North Atlantic.
