ABOUT DISCOVERY GLOBAL GEOPARK
The Discovery Global Geopark is located on the upper half of the Bonavista Peninsula. Hike Discovery, a world-class network of hiking trails leads to a number of geosites, from sea aches to sea stacks, beaches, fossils, stunning views of whales, icebergs and unspoiled wilderness. The Geopark showcases the enduring impact of a diverse and dramatic geologic past, glaciation and climate change on the landscape—the sculpting of rocks in the last ice age; from signs of rising sea level more than half a billion years ago to raised beaches formed just 10,000 years ago as glaciers retreated.
