Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland


Lobster Cove Head Light House

View from Norris Point



Tablelands Interpretive Hike:
Tablelands is one of only a couple places in the world where the earth's mantle can been seen. It is one of the reasons Gros Morne NP is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You can see the mantle on the left hand side of this picture.
The road and valley is a good divider between normal land, covered in green on the right, and the mantle, the reddish colour on the left.
