Western Brook Pond

Hiked a moderate/easy 3km inland to the lake/pond...via a hiking trail over bogs and low limestone ridges.
(next shot is the dock where a boat tour can be taken, reserved in advance as the tours are limited.)

The Western Brook Pond is a Canadian fjord or lake in Gros Morne National Park.
It's surrounded by rock walls, having been carved from the surrounding plateau by glaciers. After the glaciers melted, the land rebounded and the fjord was cut off from the sea.
Salty water was eventually flushed from the fjord leaving it fresh, therefore referred to as a False Fjord.
