Directly after breakfast we made a landing at Woody Point to start our day at Gros Morne National Park. From there it was a short ride to the Tablelands where we walked on the earth’s mantle, ancient oceanic material that has been squeezed up due to tectonic pressures. This was a day of geology.
In the afternoon we crossed the ‘tickle’ (a shallow area that tickles the bottom of a boat) to the other side of the fjord. One of our stops, Green Point, was at a now famous beach cliff that officially marks the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary in geology which is dated at 485.4 million years ago.
