Halifax is the capital city of Nova Scotia, a province in Canada.1
It is situated on the central part of the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. The city is located on a rocky peninsula that protrudes into a large, deep, ice-free natural harbour, which divides the water into inner and outer basins. Geographically, Halifax lies at latitude 44° N, positioning it nearly halfway between the Equator and the North Pole.21
