| Description |
Western Brook Pond, Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland. Another feature of the landscape at Western Brook Pond are the so-called "hanging valleys" that provide breaks in the sheer granite cliffs that surround the lake otherwise. These valleys are the work of the glaciers that covered Gros Morne 9,000 years ago: you might call them tributaries of the great river of seaward-flowing ice that carved out Western Brook Pond itself. However, unlike the main glacier, it did not scour the floor of the valley below the present-day sea level, so it never became part of the lake. Étang Western Brook, Parc national du Gros-Morne, Terre-Neuve. Une autre caractéristique du paysage à l'étang Western Brook sont ce qu'on appelle les «Vallées suspendues», qui fournissent des interruptions dans les falaises abruptes de granit qui entourent le lac autrement. Ces vallées sont l'oeuvre des glaciers qui recouvraient Gros-Morne il y a 9.000 années: on dirait les affluents du grand fleuve de glace qui a sculpté l'étang Western Brook lui-même alors qu'il coulait vers le mer. Cependant, contrairement au glacier principal, il n'a pas gratté fond de la vallée au-dessous du niveau de la mer d'aujourd'hui, donc il n'a jamais fait partie du lac. Estanque Western Brook, Parque Nacional Gros Morne, Terranova. Otra de las características del paisaje en el Estanque Western Brook se llaman los "valles colgados" que proporcionan unas interrupciones en los acantilados escarpados de granito que rodean el lago de otra manera. Estos valles son obra de los glaciares que cubrían Gros Morne hace 9.000 años: se podría llamarlos los afluentes del gran río de hielo que labró el Estanque Western Brook sí mismo mientras que fluía hacia el mar. Sin embargo, a diferencia del glaciar principal, no raspó el suelo del valle por debajo del nivel del mar de hoy en día; así, nunca se hizo parte del lago. |
