Gros Morne National Park provides one of the world's great geology lessons. As Prince Edward noted, "What the Galapagos are to biology, Gros Morne is to geology." Hence, its United Nations World Heritage Site designation. On this tour you will also have the opportunity to travel to the centre of the Earth. More specifically, you will visit the Tablelands where an 80 square kilometer slab of the Earth's mantle has been shoved up on land from deep beneath the ocean floor. Some scientists say the Tablelands more closely resemble the surface of the moon than the rest of the Earth. You will also travel to L'Anse aux Meadows -- the only authenticated Viking site in North America. This package also includes a visit to Red Bay, the 16th Century's Whaling Capital of the World. This little-known part of North America had a population of over 500 European people when areas like Boston and New York were still wilderness. You will also stop to explore the Maritime Archaic Indian exhibit at Port au Choix National Historic Park. This is the last archaeological site you visit on this holiday which is considered by some experts to be North America's most diverse archaeological adventure. Learn about the art and artifacts of these ancient Newfoundlanders.
