Our itinerary includes:
A boat tour of scenic Bonne Bay, of two fjords, South Arm and East Arm, joined by the Tickle. Our first views of Gros Morne Mountain and the Tablelands. We scout for our finned relatives, especially the minke whales and dolphins that frequent the deep waters of this fjord. Bird sightings especially bald eagles are also common.
A walk on the Tablelands; a slice of ancient ocean floor. The orange-brown rock, called peridotite, is one of the best and most accessible examples of exposed mantle material in the world.
- Explorations of the volcanic rocks of Green Gardens that eruptedonto the earth as a continent split apart and an ocean formed more than 600 million years ago.
