Walking on the Earth’s Mantle – Mars on Earth
The Tablelands的点评
点评：The Tablelands is one of the most extraordinary landscapes we’ve ever seen — unlike anywhere else in Newfoundland, or even Canada. Walking through this otherworldly terrain felt like stepping onto another planet.
The landscape is dominated by rust-coloured peridotite rock, pushed up from deep within the Earth’s mantle half a billion years ago. Because the rock is low in nutrients and high in heavy metals, very few plants grow here, giving the place a stark, barren beauty. This is what makes the Tablelands a key site for understanding plate tectonics — proof of how ancient oceans closed and mountains formed.
We visited with our family and friends, including young kids, and found the area surprisingly accessible. The Tablelands Trail is well-marked and not too challenging, making it a great spot to explore with children while still being deeply fascinating for adults. Along the way, the contrasting scenery — the orange-brown rocks of the Tablelands against the lush green valleys of Gros Morne — is simply breathtaking.
What made our visit even more special was learning that the Tablelands played a role in Gros Morne being designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Standing there, you feel like you’re touching a piece of Earth’s inner secrets.
The Tablelands is a must-see when visiting Gros Morne. It’s not just a hike — it’s a walk across the Earth’s mantle, a rare chance to experience the planet’s geological history up close. Perfect for families, photographers, and anyone curious about the story of our planet.

翻译：高原是我们见过的最奇特的景观之一——与纽芬兰，甚至加拿大的其他地方都截然不同。漫步在这片宛如世外桃源般的土地上，仿佛置身于另一个星球。
这片地貌主要由锈色的橄榄岩构成，这些岩石在五亿年前从地幔深处涌出。由于这些岩石营养成分低，重金属含量高，因此很少有植物生长，赋予了它一种荒凉荒芜的美感。正因如此，高原才成为了解板块构造学的关键地点——板块构造学是古代海洋闭合和山脉形成的证明。
我们和家人朋友，包括一些年幼的孩子一起来到这里，发现这里出乎意料地容易到达。高原步道标记清晰，难度适中，非常适合带孩子探索，同时也能让成年人沉浸其中。沿途，高原橙褐色的岩石与格罗莫讷郁郁葱葱的绿色山谷形成鲜明对比，景色令人叹为观止。
让我们的这次旅行更加特别的是，我们了解到格罗莫讷高原在1987年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产的过程中发挥了重要作用。站在那里，仿佛触及了地球内部的秘密。
格罗莫讷高原是游览格罗莫讷的必游之地。这不仅仅是一次徒步旅行，更是一次穿越地幔的旅程，是近距离体验地球地质历史的难得机会。它非常适合家庭、摄影师以及任何对地球历史感兴趣的人。
