Gros Morne National Park Scenery
Gros Morne National Park, also known as Gros Morne National Park (English: Gros Morne National Park), is a national park in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, located on the west coast of Newfoundland Island. Covering an area of 1,805 square kilometers, it is the second-largest national park in Canada's Atlantic provinces.
The park is named after Gros Morne Mountain, the second-highest peak in Newfoundland within the park. "Gros Morne" is derived from French, literally meaning "very lonely," here signifying "a solitary standing mountain." Gros Morne National Park is a rare example of continental drift, showcasing exposed deep-sea floor and mantle rocks. The park was established as a national park reserve in 1973 and officially became a national park in 2005.
