"Situated on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland, the park provides a rare example of the process of continental drift, where deep ocean crust and the rocks of the earth's mantle lie exposed. More recent glacial action has resulted in some spectacular scenery, with coastal lowland, alpine plateau, fjords, glacial valleys, sheer cliffs, waterfalls and many pristine lakes."
格罗斯莫讷国家公园
“格罗斯莫讷公园位于纽芬兰岛西海岸，为我们提供了一个大陆漂移的珍稀标本，这里的深海地壳和大陆地幔的岩石都暴露在外面。最近的冰川运动产生了许多令人惊叹的景观，包括海岸低地、高山高原、海湾、冰川峡谷、悬崖峭壁、瀑布以及许多纯净的湖泊。”
