The peninsula is surrounded by sea on all sides, except for the southwest where it widens into the general continental mainland. The northwestern part of the Labrador Peninsula is shaped as a lesser peninsula, the [[Ungava Peninsula]], surrounded by Hudson Bay, the [[Hudson Strait]], and [[Ungava Bay]]. The northernmost point of the Ungava Peninsula, [[Cape Wolstenholme]], also serves as the northernmost point of the Labrador Peninsula and of the province of Quebec. The peninsula is a [[plateau]] threaded by river valleys. There are several mountain ranges. The [[Torngat Mountains]], located in the northern part of the peninsula, contain the highest point of the peninsula, [[Mount Caubvick]], which at {{convert|1652|m|ft}} is also the highest point of mainland Canada east of [[Alberta]]. The mountains also host [[Torngat Mountains National Park]], the only national park of Canada on the Labrador Peninsula. The park is located in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, whereas the adjacent [[Kuururjuaq National Park]] is located in the province of Quebec.{{citation needed|date=November 2019}}

===Hydrology===
Due to it being covered almost entirely by the [[Canadian Shield]] — a vast, rocky plateau with a history of glaciation — the peninsula has a large number of lakes. The province of Quebec alone has more than half a million<ref>{{Citation |title=L'eau. La vie. L'avenir.

The largest body of water on the Labrador Peninsula is the [[Smallwood Reservoir]], but the largest natural lake is [[Lake Mistassini]]. Other lakes of note include the [[Manicouagan Reservoir]], the [[Caniapiscau Reservoir]], and the [[La Grande 2 Reservoir|La Grande 2]] and [[La Grande 3 Reservoir|La Grande 3]] reservoirs. Due to a history of hydroelectric development, the majority of the larger freshwater lakes on the peninsula are reservoirs. In addition to an abundance of lakes, the peninsula also has many rivers. The longest, the La Grande River, is {{convert|900|km|mi}} long and flows westwards across nearly half the peninsula. Other rivers of note include the [[Eastmain River]], [[Rupert River]], and [[Churchill River (Atlantic)|Churchill River]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2019}}
