Gros Morne National Park lies on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland, in Canada, and takes its name from the mountain Gros Morne, one of the highest in the province. It is known for its geology, which offers a rare view of rock from the Earth's mantle, exposed on the Tablelands, as a result of the collision of continents hundreds of millions of years ago, giving key evidence for the theory of plate tectonics. The park also has fjord-like lakes such as Western Brook Pond, with steep cliffs, as well as forest, bogs and sea cliffs, and wildlife such as moose and caribou. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
