	Nova Scotia, Canada - Travel Photos by Galen R Frysinger, Sheboygan, Wisconsin
		Nova Scotia is one of the Maritime provinces, along with Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick; it is also one of the Atlantic provinces (the Maritimes plus Newfoundland).
		Nova Scotia was known to the French as Acadia, possibly after the Mi'kmaq word meaning "plenty." The 19th-century American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow immortalized the land in his poem Evangeline, which, in a mixture of fact and fancy, concerns itself with the life of the Acadians, who were forced to flee Acadia by the British.
		Nova Scotia is about 560 km (about 350 mi) long, averages 110 km (70 mi) in width, and has an area of 55,490 sq km (21,425 sq mi), including 2,650 sq km (1,023 sq mi) of inland water.
