		Nova Scotia is renowned for its varied scenery, from the lush orchard country of Annapolis Valley to the rocky shores of Peggy’s Cove on the Atlantic Coast.
		Nova Scotia is represented in the Canadian Parliament by 11 elected representatives in the House of Commons and by 10 senators, appointed by the federal government, in the Senate.
		During the 1970s coal mining in Nova Scotia expanded, driven in part by the global energy crisis, and provincial funds were used to build an industrial park on the Strait of Canso and to modernize the port at Halifax.

	Scotia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scotia was originally the Latin name for Ireland (also known to the Romans as Hibernia).
		In this way, the usage of the word Scotia in the Middle Ages might be compared with the 21st century usage of the word Gaidhealtachd.
		The term is also used in a Canadian province named Nova Scotia (New Scotland); the village of Scotia in New York State, the Scotia Sea between Antarctica and South America, and in Scotiabank, a trade name for the Bank of Nova Scotia.

	Scotia Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Scotia Sea (57°30′S 040°00′W) is partly in the Southern Ocean and mostly in the Atlantic Ocean between Tierra del Fuego, the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, the South Sandwich Islands, the Antarctic Peninsula, and bordered on the west by Drake Passage.
		Habitually stormy and cold, the most famous traverse of this frigid sea was made in 1916 by Sir Ernest Shackleton and four others in a lifeboat (named James Caird) when they left Elephant Island and reached South Georgia two weeks later.
		On 20 August 2006 an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1 struck at 1:41 a.m.

		The Scotia Sea is a body of water almost the size of the Western Europe, a part of the Southern Ocean.
		Its borders are marked by Falkland and South Georgia Islands in the North, South Sandwich Islands in the East, Tierra del Fuego, Drake Passage, and South Shetland Islands in the West, South Orkney Islands and the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula in the South.
		The Scotia Sea is the most accessible, and certainly the most visited, part of the Antarctic.

	Seismotectonics and relative plate motions in the Scotia Sea region
		The dephs of two earthquakes (35 km and 55 km) and one shallow thrust faulting event suggest continued subduction along the South Shetland Trench, but the underthrusting is largely aseismic due to the young plate age and slow subduction rate.
		The magnitude and depth of normal faulting earthquakes along Bransfield Strait and the South Scotia Ridge are suggestive of diffuse extension rather than typical organized mid-ocean spreading, which is generally associated with smaller and shallower earthquakes.

		The Scotia Sea is an outstanding example of back-arc spreading, which is revealed in some detail by free-air gravity anomaly maps derived from the latest release of gravity anomaly data acquired south of 30 S. These data confirm the existence of a number of inactive spreading ridges within the Scotia Sea and surrounding small basins.
		The spreading ridge axis in the east Scotia Sea comprises seven or more segments, separated by small, mainly sinistral, offsets and exhibits a median valley with depths of 200-1000 m that is reflected in free-air lows of 10-40 mGal.
		Whereas the process of spreading in Drake Passage and the east Scotia Sea was comparable to mid-ocean ridges, that in the central Scotia Sea may have been disorganized, as observed in some western Pacific back-arc basins.

		The saltwater lagoon is a nesting and feeding spot for sea birds, and the deep pool at the entrance becomes a warm swimming spot when, during low tide, the trapped water heats up.

		This bimodality is eroded away in the Scotia Sea by vigorous mixing with WSDW and CDW from the Weddell Gyre.
		As a result of ventilation by Weddell Sea waters, the signature of the Southeast Pacific Deep Water (SPDW) fraction of CDW is largely erased in the Scotia Sea.

	Tectonic evolution of the west Scotia Sea
		When they are placed in a regional plate circuit, the rotations predict plate motions consistent with known tectonic events at the margins of the Scotia Sea: Oligocene extension in Powell Basin; Miocene convergence in Tierra del Fuego and at the North Scotia Ridge; and Miocene transpression at the Shackleton Fracture Zone.
		The spreading rate drop accompanies inception of the East Scotia Ridge back-arc spreading center, which may therefore have assumed the role of the West Scotia Ridge in accommodating eastward motion of the trench at the eastern boundary of the Scotia Sea.
		This interpretation is most easily incorporated into a model in which the basins in the central parts of the Scotia Sea had already formed by chron C8, contrary to some widely accepted interpretations, and which has significant implications for paleoceanography and paleobiogeography.

	Cold water gets mixed in ‘blender’ of Scotia Sea
		The Scotia Sea, located between the Antarctic and the tip of South America, acts like a ‘blender’ on the very cold ocean waters that influence global ocean circulation patterns and ultimately climate, according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA) and published today (28 February) in the international journal Nature.
		We’ve shown for the first time that the coldest water from the bottom of the Weddell Sea gets violently churned up as it passes through gaps in the ridge system found on the seabed in the Scotia Sea, mixing upwards towards the surface.
		The research was carried out as part of the ALBATROSS project (Antarctic Large Scale Box Analysis and the Role of the Scotia Sea) which was designed to measure the flow of water into and out of the Scotia Sea in order to determine the role it plays in ocean circulation.

	ORCA Survey Suggests Scotia Sea May Be Important For Beaked Whales
		A recent survey of the Scotia Sea in the Southern Ocean has provided fresh evidence for the importance of this region for poorly known members of the beaked whale family.
		Despite being an increasingly popular destination for cruise vessels, dedicated surveys of the Southern Ocean in the region of the Drake Passage and the Scotia Sea are still limited and data on the distribution of cetaceans is consequently sparse.
		The whales, possibly mature females due to a lack of pale markings or scarring, were over a seamount rising to 2080m from a depth of 3610m on the surrounding sea floor, just to the north of the Hesperides Trough.
