It’s easy to see the beauty
of our planet. The real wonders
require you to dig a little deeper.
The story of life on Earth began billions of years ago, and some of the
greatest narrators of this tale are the rocks of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Our geological marvels aren’t stowed away behind glass or hidden beneath
deep layers of rock. Here you can see and even touch some of the most
fascinating and rarest phenomena on the planet.
At Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
fossil discoveries shaped our understanding of evolution. Gros Morne
offers opportunities to walk atop the Earth’s mantle, tour inland fjords
carved by massive glaciers, and marvel at volcanic sea stacks. And the
Discovery UNESCO Global Geopark is a time machine that can bring you
back a half-a-billion years.
