The Annieopsquotch Mountains are located in the southwestern interior of the Canadian island of Newfoundland, east of Bay St. George. Rising to a peak of 687 m (2,254 ft) above sea level, this range of hills runs in a north-eastward direction between Victoria Lake and Red Indian Lake. It is composed of 500 million year old ocean floor rock; its name is Mi'kmaq and literally translated means 'terrible rocks'.
