From Deer Lake, Canada: Geologist Kirsten Oravec is studying unique landscapes that feature pink beaches and icebergs. These areas are described as ancient and alien. Oravec is marveling at the Tablelands, which are part of Gros Morne National Park.
The Tablelands are notable for their unusual rocks. According to Oravec, walking through this area is like taking a walk on the Earth's mantle, which is normally hidden. The rocks in this region are considered wonderfully strange.
Further details about these landscapes and Oravec's work are available from the source. The unique geological features of this area make it a fascinating subject for study.
