Hi All
Just got back a few days ago from a long sought after vacation on the west coast of the island (my home place).

I'd thought not to post anymore icebergs to spear the agony on the viewers. But if desired, I can still do so.

The barren Tablelands, a large area where part of the earth's underlying mantle — an ancient ocean — was pushed up to the surface when two tectonic plates collided (about 470 million years ago) Found between Trout River and Woody Point in Gros Morne National Park, this range of mountains look more like Arizona than forested Newfoundland.This is due to the ultramafic rock - peridotite - which makes up the Tablelands. It is thought to originate in the earth's mantle and was forced up from the depths during a plate collision several hundred million years ago. Peridotite lacks the usual nutrients required to sustain most plant life, hence its barren appearance. The rock is very low in calcium, very high in magnesium, and has toxic amounts of heavy metals. Peridotite is also high in iron, which accounts for its brownish color. Underneath this weathered zone, the rock is really a dark green color.
As you can see it was quite windy, but with my kit bag attached to the center column and my arms and legs wrapped around the tripod, I managed to to steady the camera enough to take a shot.
