Gros Morne: Walk on the Mantle At Gros Morne National Park, you can walk on the Earth's mantle. This UNESCO site in Newfoundland features the Tablelands, a massive slab of rust-coloured peridotite rock forced up from deep within the planet. This barren landscape, where few plants survive, is a visible lesson in plate tectonics and stands in stark contrast to the park's lush, green fjords. #Canada #GrosMorne #Geology #Newfoundland 🇨🇦

“He went up to look at the house, see how things were going, and somewhere along the line he learned that the house number was going to be number 19," he said. Cooper’s grandfather was flabbergasted. “I can’t have my house to be number 19!” he said. “That’s a shithouse number.” https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/no-19-st-johns-street-9.7269329 #canada #newfoundland #nfld

Some streets in St. John’s don’t have a house numbered 19. The reason might disgust you | CBC News

One may be the loneliest number, but according to Newfoundland tradition, 19 is the smelliest.

Terra Nova: Boreal Forest by the Sea Terra Nova National Park protects the easternmost part of North America's Boreal forest. In Newfoundland, these ancient woods meet the rugged Atlantic coast, creating a unique transition zone. This landscape supports diverse wildlife, including the threatened Newfoundland Marten. Its name, Latin for 'New Land,' echoes the island's identity. #Canada #TerraNova #Newfoundland #Boreal 🇨🇦
