Visiting the Tablelands in Gros Morne National Park is like stepping onto another planet. This remarkable area showcases the Earth's mantle, which is typically buried far beneath the Earth's crust but has been thrust to the surface here due to ancient tectonic activities. It's fascinating to think that the rusty, orange rocks you walk among were once deep under the ocean!

Gros Morne's unique geology was crucial in confirming the theory of plate tectonics, highlighting the park's global scientific significance. The landscape around the Tablelands is stark and almost alien, with vast expanses of rust-colored rocks dotted with heavy metals that limit plant growth, creating a scene that feels more Martian than earthly.

To truly appreciate this unique geological wonder, I recommend exploring the Tablelands Interpretative Trail. This easy, one-hour walk follows an old roadbed at the base of the mountain, with informative signs along the route explaining the significance of the area's geology
