Description
Summary:View to the NE along the spine of the Long Range Mountains in western Newfoundland. The only break in the level of the glaciated plateau in the distance is Gros Morne Mountain, underlain by resistant quartzites, which extends a short distance above the otherwise level plateau. Bonne Bay in the middle distance is a fjord, an Icelandic trough filled by sea water. In the foreground are the slopes of Table Mountain, which rises to the same elevation as the plateau to the NE. Compare with images 373, 374, and 375.
