The Battle Harbour Marconi Towers, located on Labrador’s rugged coast, are the last of their kind in North America and possibly the world. Built in 1904, they played a pivotal role in early global communications, notably transmitting Admiral Robert Peary’s 1909 North Pole expedition announcement. However, over a century of harsh weather and the impacts of climate change have left them in disrepair, threatening their survival.
