Very nice place and beautiful scenery. Gros Morne National Park is so impressive. It's a place I really want to go someday. Full view and Big liked. Have a happy time, dear friend...👍👍
My dear friend. It is a national park that is good for beautiful and trekking.👍😍 Thank you for sharing this great video. Have a good time and see you again.🙋🏻♂️
Visited here last week. My son remarked it was like walking on Mars. A very alien landscape. Visiting the Discovery Centre and getting the background of what the Tablelands actually are was a huge plus to the overall experience, and highly recommended.
It really is like walking on another planet. Void of anything at first glance. Yes, having the info really helps. I also know they do guided ranger talks of the area which I'm sure are also really quite good!
This is kind of amazing. I had no idea the earth's mantle is exposed anywhere. That is so cool that you can just walk on it and hold it in your hands. I would love to see this in person one day. Thanks for taking us along for the hike!
It's one of those places you'll likely only see once in a lifetime, and this was an amazing experience. A must do for anyone going to western newfoundland!
More red chairs! Nice voice-over intro and then seamlessly working it back in after your comments. Easy to listen to and informative. Another beautiful area and quality video!
Alien Theory is totally up my alley. Nice they put the walkway to make it easier for families like us. Those falls are so pretty. Glad you didn't wipe out checking out the water. Great tour and love this format!!!!
Wow that is a beautiful park! I don't know many of the National Parks in Canada, so this was quite a learning experience. Mmm fresh water. Thanks for sharing sir! - Shane
A lot of people don't come to the east coast when they visit Canada, so many miss out on great parks like this! I do want to focus more on our National Parks and Historic sites. We have so many, and they are either really beautiful, or packed full of great history. I think they would be really great subject matter to present.
Great video man!!!! Mantle rocks are indeed located about 5-10 km beneath the oceanic crust and 35-40 km beneath the continental crust. There's one more spot where mantle rocks are exposed at a place in Oman called Oman ophiolites...
Oh that's cool! Someone else has mentioned they thought that maybe Australia had an area where the mantle was exposed as well, but I haven't looked into it yet!
Nice park and a nice hike and with a bit of Alien DNA, what's not to like. Loved the stream and mountains and must admit I thought you were going to jump in to test the coldness of the water, not just put your hand in😂. Cheers Alan
This was a really awesome hike. It is amazing to be surrounded by these awesome views. I need to remember this place for when I visit Canada next year. I think it would look really incredible filmed with my drone. You got a new subscriber, keep it up.
Yes it would! Remember we have really strict drone laws here - and that means no use in National Parks! Trust me, I would have used mine as well! (I do whenever I can)
The Tablelands rule! I'd say the best spot for the red chairs would be up on top of Western Brooks Pond, hiking the Grand Traverse (if we were going by pure beauty of the park). Had a chance to hike that beauty in 2000. Way to grab a hold of the earths mantle! Keep on rocking it Josh, happy 2021!
Thank you so much! The park is really amazing. Western Brook Pond is stunning. We didn't do the full thing, but we'll have a video later on to remind you of the beauty there. Thanks! Hope you are staying safe! Hoping for lots of adventure (locally) in 2021!
Hey Josh! Beauty boardwalk trail! That water must have been amazing to drink because you can't get any fresher than that! How much does a Parks Canada 🇨🇦 pass cost normally?? An annual American National Parks pass costs $80 US.
You give me a heart attack with your suction cup shot out the window!!!! This is my type of walk. Short and great view. We need the red chair thing here in the States. Such a genius idea. Gros Morne National Park looks amazing!!!! Here in IL, pretty flat and cornfields. Discovered your channel watching the Starved Rock video.
Oh man this place looks spectacular! Definitely adding this to our list of must see places in Newfoundland!! The board walk near the end of the video gave me a bit of Skyline Trail vibes lol Great video Josh! 👍
It was great visit and hike. October weather was lovely for a hike but strong wind made it hard. The mantle is very unfriendly to any vegetation. Amazing place with the contrast on the other side of the road.
There are at least nineteen locations in the world where oceanic mantle is exposed on the Earth’s surface. The exposed mantle sections or ophiolites are: 1) Coast Range, California, USA, 2) Ultramafic rock sections near Baltimore, Maryland, USA, 3) Central Andes, Argentina, 4) Bay of Islands, Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland, 5) Lizard Complex, Cornwall, Great Britain, 6) Northern Apennine, Italy, 7) Troodos, Cyprus, 7) Central Eastern Desert, Egypt, 8) Semail, Oman and United Arab Emirates, 9) Naga Hills and Andaman, India, 10) Kohistan Arc, Pakistan, 11) Dangqiong, Tibet, 12) Zhongcang, Tibet, 13) Dongwanzi, China, 14) Macquarie Island, Tasmania, Australia, 15) Yakuno, Japan, 16) Horokanai, Japan, 17) Poroshiri, Japan, 18) Zambales, Luzon, Philippines, and 19) Dun Mountain, South Island, New Zealand.
I plan on visiting next Fall. The Tablelands is one of my highest priority. I am mobility limited so even that hike will might not happen. I will still admire the place.
I hope you do get the chance to see this in person! Of all the trails in the park, this would be one that would cater best to those with mobility issues. Not 100% flat, it's one of the most level and shortest hikes in the park, so it may offer you the best opportunity to experience this magical place. Good luck and enjoy when you go!
We really loved Newfoundland. SO much to see and do. Each part of the island offers something different. Hopefully the videos will give you some inspiration and will help you plan your trip!
I'm from Newfoundland and didn't know the earth mantle was exposed like that 😳 this would be a 7 hour drive from my town, but once gas prices are down this is a family road trip I'm taking.
I don't get the significance of the exposed mantle. Isn't it the same with anynother bedrock or mountains which were pushed up by tectonics ? Just trying to understand it...
Regarding the rock itself, yes, I believe that is true - the rock (mantle) itself is nothing too special. What's special is usually this mantle is usually buried really deep in the earth (on continents it's usually buried under 30 km worth of "crust"). So having shifted so much is quite an amazing site, and something only seen in a handful of places across the globe.
Peridotites contain more magnesium than iron. Crustal rocks typically have more iron than magnesium. Your photography is lovely, but you should have done a little more research because your video contains some serious errors. The Bay of Islands Ophiolite exposed in Gros Morne National Park is one of at least nineteen ophiolites or sections of the mantle that are exposed on the Earth's surface. See my other comment below for the locations of the other eighteen upper mantle exposures.
Appreciate the feed back. All the information was taken from the signs posted from Parks Canada - so perhaps the information is outdated from their postings.
It's such an amazing part of the park. It's no wonder people come specifically to hike this place. I'm more worried about what the aliens would do! lol. Luckily for them we didn't do much gene sequencing in any of my academic studies (despite being a BIO major), so I wouldn't really know where to start, lol.
Awesome upload. Enjoyed watching. Big likeeee. Greetings
Thank you! The trail was amazing, and it was such a unique place. So glad I was there to enjoy it all!
Visited this area about 10 yrs ago with my Canadian husband who was an exploration geologist....learned so much from him.
Fascinating nature.
Looks absolutely beautiful.
The red chairs is a great idea
This area is so unique and beautiful. The chairs are an amazing idea - one that we try and take advantage of every time we can!
Very nice place and beautiful scenery.
Gros Morne National Park is so impressive.
It's a place I really want to go someday.
Full view and Big liked.
Have a happy time, dear friend...👍👍
I know you would love this park and especially this hike!
What a beautiful place to visit Josh. Thanks for sharing.
It sure was! A landscape unlike any other!
My dear friend. It is a national park that is good for beautiful and trekking.👍😍
Thank you for sharing this great video. Have a good time and see you again.🙋🏻♂️
So many beautiful hikes in this park!
Man Josh, this place looks so grand and majestic. WOW.......LIKE 16. 👍👍👍👍
You said it perfectly! This place is unlike any other!

Both , hiking and Discovery Center are amazing. I’ve visited in October 2022.

Thanks Randy! That is something I have really tried working on. This landscape is unreal, and I am really glad we had a chance to explore it.
Beautiful! I'm jealous. Perfect weather you got there.
It really was perfect! Looking forward to having that kind of weather again - but right now, that is literally half a year away :p
wow absolutely amazing scenery, nice video and trail!
This place was so cool. Really a place like no other!
The scenery looks amazing what a beautiful place :) those red chairs definitely look like they are in a good stop :) the mantle looks cool
Such a neat way to experience the earth - you can't find a place like this in too many spots!
Looks like you had a great time! Thanks for showing us such an awesome place!
We sure did! The entire park was amazing - but this trail in particular is so unique. It was incredible.
Alien Theory is totally up my alley. Nice they put the walkway to make it easier for families like us. Those falls are so pretty. Glad you didn't wipe out checking out the water. Great tour and love this format!!!!
Thank you my friend!~
Wow! This park is so stunning! Can’t wait to visit someday!!
You will both really love it. The tablelands is a "must-do thing in western Newfoundland for sure.

I think that would have been a cold swim - even though it was in the middle of August!
This was a really awesome hike. It is amazing to be surrounded by these awesome views. I need to remember this place for when I visit Canada next year. I think it would look really incredible filmed with my drone. You got a new subscriber, keep it up.

It was so cold and fresh, it was amazing! An year pass for adult is ($70 can or $55 US) and a family pass is ($140 can or $110 us).
@@DestinationEarth oh ok. The American National Park pass is $80 per car not person.

Gros Morne National Park looks amazing!!!! Here in IL, pretty flat and cornfields. Discovered your channel watching the Starved Rock video.
Gros Morne is really amazing. This is the perfect combination hike - short, great views, pretty accessible and amazing geological features!
Oh man this place looks spectacular! Definitely adding this to our list of must see places in Newfoundland!! The board walk near the end of the video gave me a bit of Skyline Trail vibes lol Great video Josh! 👍
You'd be missing out if you went to Newfoundland and didn't see this. It's amazing.
Lol I spent many a recess smashing rocks together trying to find gemstones inside. Excited to see what comes out when you sequence that alien DNA.
I am starting on the process now. But with my methods, it could take awhile!
It was great visit and hike. October weather was lovely for a hike but strong wind made it hard. The mantle is very unfriendly to any vegetation. Amazing place with the contrast on the other side of the road.

great video greetings 🙂
Thank you! This is an amazing, unique trail!
I am going June 2022. thanks for sharing...
You are going to love it! I have an entire series on Newfound if you need any more inspiration or info!
so this is what i dreamt about last night

Wow I can’t believe that is Canada, incredible how it’s the earths mantle. Don’t take any alien DNA out of the park, you can get fined for that 🤪
