Gros Morne National Park and L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site have earned the distinction as United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)World Heritage Sites - in the company of other extraordinary natural and cultural wonders as the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador.

There's a secret hidden in the rocks here, a key to the past that tells of colliding continents, tectonic upheavals and glaciers on the move. It's right under your feet. Explore the geology and natural wonders by day, and at night discover the culture through theatre, music and food.

Stand where Leif Ericson stood 1000 years ago and gaze out to sea. What was he thinking? Did he see icebergs, too? Five centuries before Columbus he stood right here. Explore his recreated sod hut village, then hop over to Norstead a couple of kms away and learn to throw an axe like a Viking!
