Fantastic Fjords
It was a perfect summer morning for a boat ride through the Gros Morne fjords in Newfoundland. The striking rock formations were wrapped in full-grown and tall trees, ranging from balsam fir, black spruce, white spruce and paper birch. The Gros Morne fjords are a 16 km-long landlocked basin that was create during the last ice age thanks to massive sheets of flowing ice moved through the valley. The heavy ice scraped and scoured the rock which shaped the deep, steep-walled valleys that measure up to 2,000 feet tall. The grandiosity of this place is truly something else and we're lucky to have such fjords in Canada.
The Magnificent Morne
Can you believe this photo was taken in Canada? In Gros Morne, Newfoundland, to be exact, on a boat trip through the fjords. The wind was fierce as we entered the breathtaking alleyway with mountains as tall as 2,000 feet on either side of us. Water splash was constant and if it wasn't for nature's blow dryer (the fierce winds), we would have come off the boat looking as if we had just taken a bath. The fjords in Gros Morne are situated in pure fresh water contained in a 16-kilometer-long landlocked basin. This stunning piece of geography were created during the last ice age. Massive sheets of flowing ice moved through the valley, the heavy ice scraping and scouring the rock which shaped the deep, steep-walled valleys. These may look like miniature trees, or perhaps moss growing on rock found on a forest floor, but these are in fact full-sized balsam fir, black spruce, white spruce and paper birch. The grandiosity of this place is truly something else and we're lucky to have the fjords in Canada.
