Half a billion years
in the making.
Newfoundland and Labrador is home to Discovery UNESCO Global Geopark,
one of only five Global Geoparks in North America. From Southern Bay to
Bonavista, 280 kilometres of stunning coastline await – with ten developed
geosites that showcase the region’s geological, natural, and cultural diversity.
Take a trip back in time: walk among half-a-billion-year-old rocks, remarkably
well-preserved Ediacaran fossils, and even glacial deposits dating back to
the Precambrian ice age. No other place on the planet gives you a glimpse at
nature’s early evolution quite like this. And if you’re in the mood for a stroll,
the hiking trails won’t disappoint. Gaze at remarkable vistas and spot coastal
formations from caves to arches to sea stacks. Maybe even cross paths with
icebergs, whales, seabirds, and wildflowers along the way. It’s all right here.
The past is waiting to be discovered.
