More pics

In line waiting for the ferry to Newfoundland. I think we are fourth from the end of the long line.

Table mountains in Newfoundland.

This photo should be self explanatory.

Broom Point, Gros Morne National Park. At least I think it was Broom Point. There were three other rocky "prongs" sticking out into the water. A geologist's dream.

Just how cool is this Breccia dike? VERY COOL.

Bogs along the beach.

Receding downpour. Believe me, it rained HARD.

Ever seen oceanic crust? Now you have seen a photo of some. This was apparently thrust up onto the continent and left there. It was kind of eerie seeing these orange mountains with nothing growing on them in the middle of the other forested peaks. The reason is that the rocks that these are made of come from down near the top of the mantle and have very high concentrations of iron and manganese (and magnesium? I forget), such that very little can grow on them.

More later!
