Scenes from the Tablelands, site of the world's oldest above-ground rocks. This is a piece of the earth's mantle. ~650,000,000 years old. #newfoundland #Tablelands #geology #RockOn #NaturePhotography #hiking

Today’s adventures led us to the #Tablelands and #TroutRiver in #Newfoundland. The hike was a pretty nice one being about 4KM return trip. Spending some time in Trout River was also nice.
Tomorrow we have a long journey driving. 3 hours then a ferry ride

"#Tablelands [in western Newfoundland] are not just similar to #Mars in looks. Morrill has found bacteria living in the local stream's high pH currents as a result of natural process called serpentinization."

"Morrill said it's possible serpentinization also happens on Mars, so she's researching what the #Tablelands can reveal about finding past or current life on the Red Planet."
