End Of the Fjord
If you ever find yourself in Newfoundland, you have to go see Gros Morne National Park, and if you do, I highly recommend taking the Western Brook Pond boat tour. It was amazing, and I can't wait to show you the hyperlapse I shot from the boat! This is one of the frames from the timeapse. I cropped a little off the bottom of the photo.
From Wikipedia "The Western Brook Pond is a Canadian fjord or lake located in Gros Morne National Park on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland. It is in the Long Range Mountains, the most northern section of the Appalachian Mountains. It is surrounded by steep rock walls 600 m (2,000 ft) high, having been carved from the surrounding plateau by glaciers. After the glaciers melted, the land rebounded and the fjord was cut off from the sea. Salty water was eventually flushed from the fjord leaving it fresh. The catchment area is composed of igneous rock with relatively thin soil, so the waters feeding Western Brook Pond are low in nutrients and the lake is classified as ultraoligotrophic. It is fed by Stag Brook at the extreme eastern end of the lake and by numerous waterfalls cascading from the plateau above. One of these, Pissing Mare Falls at 350 m (1,150 ft), is one of the highest in eastern North America." You can see Pissing Mare Falls on the right. I'll post a better shot of them next.
