CA-296329

 This official from Canada was a wonderful surprise in my mailbox.  Beeing a UNESCO cards collector, i just love when i get new cards when i least expect. Gros Morne National Park was added to the World Heritage Site list in 1987.

CA-296329, sent by Glenn.
Situated on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland, the park provides a rare example of the process of continental drift, where deep ocean crust and the rocks of the earth's mantle lie exposed. More recent glacial action has resulted in some spectacular scenery, with coastal lowland, alpine plateau, fjords, glacial valleys, sheer cliffs, waterfalls and many pristine lakes. - in: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/419
