Gros Morne National Park, located on the western shores of Newfoundland, has some of the most spectacularly beautiful vistas in all of Canada. Woodland Caribou traditionally inhabit the highland of the interior but in recent years, have been migrating down to the coast. Human history in this region goes back 9,000 years to the Maritime Archaic Indians and the Dorset and Groswater Eskimos. It is internationally recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which puts it in the company of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. This designation reflects not only its beauty, but its importance in helping us to understand the earth's development and evolution.
