Western Brook Pond is actually a fjord that was cut off from the ocean by tectonic plate movement. For that reason, there are a lot of unique things about it and that is one of the reasons that Gros Morne was made a National Park and World Heritage site. There is a 2 hour boat tour on the "pond" that I took and really enjoyed.
I took way too many pictures on this tour as there were so many spectacular things to see. I'll share just a few here.

| The side of the fjord were almost straight up |
 |
| Sometimes as much as 700 m up & 500 m deep |
 |
| The Tin Man's face in the rocks |
 |
| Several spectacular waterfalls |
 |
| Here I am, eyes closed but nothing to fear |

| This was our boat |
The boat we took was hauled into the pond on skids over the frozen bog in the winter. Two other boats they use are bigger and were hauled in or helicoptered there in pieces and then assembled on site.
