A tourist on a boat tour of Western Brook Pond, part of Gros Morne National Park, is privileged to see a UNESCO World Heritage Site up close and experience the majestic and beautiful views along the Great Northern Peninsula in Newfoundland Labrador, Canada. Sometimes there is nothing more relaxing and exciting, than sitting back on a boat and gazing out over the incredible scenery around you that makes you feel both a part of nature and then completely separate and in awe of it.
This boat tour around Western Brook Pond in Gros Morne National Park, affords tourists the chance to see the huge and dark mountains and the fjords that have been carved out by glaciers, as well as the largest and most stunning lake, the Western Brook Pond. ... continue below the picture...
Steep rock walls surround the Pond on all sides, and the water contained in this pond is fresh, as the salt water has all been flushed out after the land rebounded when the glacier melted.
This area is accessible by a hiking trail, but the best and easiest way is to see the sights from a boat, so that you can get a sense of how massive the area is, and how it was literally carved out by ice thousands of years ago.
