==Extent== {{GeoGroupTemplate}} The [[International Hydrographic Organization]] defines the limits of the Labrador Sea as follows:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://iho.int/uploads/user/pubs/standards/s-23/S-23_Ed3_1953_EN.pdf|title=Limits of Oceans and Seas, 3rd edition|year=1953|publisher=International Hydrographic Organization|access-date=28 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008191433/http://www.iho.int/iho_pubs/standard/S-23/S-23_Ed3_1953_EN.pdf|archive-date=8 October 2011}}</ref> <blockquote> On the North: the South limit of [[Davis Strait]] [The parallel of [[60th parallel north|60Β° North]] between [[Greenland]] and [[Labrador]]]. On the East: a line from Cape St. Francis {{coord|47|45|N|52|27|W|type:waterbody_scale:10000000_region:CA-NL|name=Cape St. Francis}} ([[Newfoundland and Labrador|Newfoundland]]) to [[Cape Farewell, Greenland|Cape Farewell]] (Greenland). On the West: the East Coast of Labrador and Newfoundland and the Northeast limit of the [[Gulf of Saint Lawrence|Gulf of St. Lawrence]] β a line running from [[Cape Bauld]] (North point of [[Quirpon Island|Kirpon Island]], {{coord|51|40|N|55|25|W|type:waterbody_scale:10000000_region:CA-NL|name=Cape Bauld}}) to the East extreme of [[Belle Isle (Newfoundland and Labrador)|Belle Isle]] and on to the Northeast Ledge ({{coord|52|02|N|55|15|W|type:waterbody_scale:10000000_region:CA-NL|name=Belle Isle}}). Thence a line joining this ledge with the East extreme of [[Cape St. Charles]] (52Β°13'N) in Labrador. </blockquote> [[Natural Resources Canada]] uses a slightly different definition, putting the northern boundary of the Labrador Sea on a straight line from a headland on [[Killiniq Island]] abutting Lady Job Harbour to Cape Farewell.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www4.rncan.gc.ca/search-place-names/unique/ABAVX | title=Noms de lieux - Recherche par nom de toponyme }}</ref>
