Gros Morne National Park, National park in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

The 1,805 square kilometer park features mountains, fjords, waterfalls, and glacial valleys along the western coast of Newfoundland island.

The area received UNESCO World Heritage designation in 1987 due to its geological formations that reveal ancient continental collisions and oceanic crust.

Indigenous peoples left traces of their presence throughout the park, with archaeological evidence showing different settlement patterns over centuries.

Visitors can access the park through Highway 431, with ferry connections available from Nova Scotia to Port aux Basques in Newfoundland.

The Western Brook Pond reveals exposed mantle rocks and geological structures that demonstrate the theory of plate tectonics.
