Fogo Island is so remote that it has its own time zone. You won't find stoplights or fast-food joints on this island, which is located off of northeastern Newfoundland. Take a ferry west and you can visit Change Islands, a 300-person island with a rich heritage rooted in the fishing industry. Here are some beautiful scenes from the islands.
