The Cliffs of Fundy - landscapes that tell stories of the forgotten past

Added now to the list of UNESCO Global Geopark, the Cliffs of Fundy in Nova Scotia are called the proof of the supercontinent Pangea and how it came together 300 million years back. Pangea was one big supercontinent that later drifted apart due to shifting of tectonic plates that slowly led to the formation of the continents we currently know. The Bay Fundy is formed between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. This amazing destination with picturesque views should be added to your bucket list too now that it is a UNESCO Global Geopark.

The Bay of Fundy is shifting and continuously changing shape

The Bay of Fundy is known for shifting and continuously changing shape with the help of external forces and in resonance to the cliffs that were formed due to the high tides on Earth. It, like a resonating poem, tells us the untold story of our beautiful planet.

As this place is so closely related to Earth's history, this place is full of fossils of historic significance. It is home to the legendary Kluscap and steeped in his legend. A variety of fauna has made home here throughout history, from early vertebrates to seabirds and sea lions. Only recently a 310 million years old fossil was discovered here by a visitor at the Joggins Fossil Cliffs. Maybe you might discover something unique too. The Mi'kmaq were the first geologists here, selecting rocks for their tools and ceremonial use.

Every activity here is like once in a lifetime experience

Here at this Global Geopark, every activity is like once in a lifetime experience, boat tours, games like golf, visit the Ship Company theatre and Debert Flight Centre is a small list of all you might get to see here. There are animal farms and a nature park for the lovers of wildlife. There are other important attractions as well like the Fundy Discovery Centre, Thomas's Cove Coastal Trails, Five Islands, Fundy Geological Museum and Wads Falls Trail. This place is an adventure at every turn and gives us a glimpse of the glorious past. It can be called on the most important destinations of today's time.

Do you too wonder how the people before us came up with the names of all the cities, states and countries? I do. Sometimes when I have nothing to overthink, I wonder why India?
