Western Brook Pond

The Western Brook Pond is a grand fjord in Gros Morne National Park. The highlight here is the boat tour that takes you the length of the lake and under the towing cliffs of this glacially carved valley.

Carved during successive ice ages between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago, this valley was once connected to the ocean. But the retreat of the glaciers allowed the earth to rebound and that rise cut the fjord off from the ocean permanently.

Now this is one of the most pristine fresh water lakes in the world. The water here is so pure, in fact, that a water pump installed at the visitors center here wouldn't work properly because it could not even detect there was water in it.

It's an amazing fjord and you could easily imagine yourself in Norway.

Another bonus, we saw a moose at the head of the lake!Read more
