One of the many things I'm learning about Canada's National Parks, is they have so many amazing, surprising, and unexpected things in them! Visiting Canada's National Parks will give you the opportunity to experience beauty in incredible ways for sure and Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve is a place where the amazing, surprising, unexpected and beauty all combine for a truly incredible place!
- Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve is famous for Canada's largest concentration of towering, 450-million-year-old erosion monoliths.
- Thousands of years of wind and sea erosion have carved the white limestone bedrock into bizarre, towering shapes which look like giant statues.
- Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve is made up of 40 islands and more than 1,000 islets in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Quebec.
- The islands span a unique mix of subarctic boreal forests, flat gravel barrens which mimic arctic tundra, and peat bogs.
- The archipelago is an important sanctuary for seabirds, most notably the Atlantic Puffin (often called the "parrot of the sea"), Razorbills, and Common Murres.
