Nova Scotia is a camper's paradise, offering everything from tent & trailer parks to wilderness campsites. You can camp in the woods, beside a stream, or even on a hill overlooking the ocean. All privately owned campgrounds have been inspected and have approved facilities.

More than half the area of Nova Scotia lies within the Atlantic Upland. Underlying this region are granites, quartzites, and some slates. The surface of the Atlantic Upland rises from sea level on the Atlantic shore to about 180 to 200 m (about 600 to 700 ft) at the southern side of the Annapolis Valley. The Atlantic Upland, which is cut by lowlands, stretches from the southern tip of the peninsula to Cape Breton Island.

Nova Scotia has long been a favorite escape for savvy Canadians and Europeans, yet few Americans live or retire in this secretive outpost. Why? Well, perhaps it's because Nova Scotia isn't a destination you stumble across by accident. Almost completely surrounded by water, it lies hidden between the Atlantic Ocean, the Bay of Fundy, the Northumberland Strait, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

The Annapolis well will be drilled on offshore Exploration License 2377, located 350 kilometers (220 miles) south of Nova Scotia in 1,750 meters (5,700 feet) of water. The well will be drilled in the deepest water to date offshore Nova Scotia and take approximately 60 days to drill. Marathon has contracted the West Navion, a modern drillship specifically designed to operate in ultra deepwater and in harsh weather environments such as those experienced in the North Atlantic. Prior to drilling in Nova Scotia, the West Navion has operated offshore Greenland, the Mediterranean, and the North Sea. Marathon is operator of the Annapolis well with a 30% interest. Other members of the consortium are PanCanadian Petroleum Limited, a subsidiary of PanCanadian Energy Corporation, (26% interest), Norsk Hydro Canada Oil & Gas Inc., (25% interest), and Murphy Oil Company Ltd., (19% interest).
