Nature Zone : Traces of the Glacier

Highlights / General details

While safely on board a boat, you will discover a whole new aspect of the mighty river. For example, did you know that 12,000 years ago, the Saint Lawrence was an arctic sea, the powerful waves of which hit the glacier thus reducing it to icebergs? “Traces of the glaciers" will allow you to admire the massive work accomplished by the Laurentian ice cap, from one of the best points of view, the sea. It was this massive glacier that sculpted and shaped the giant glacial flutings, the canyons, the moraines, the fjards and the bays.

You will also learn that many sea mammals (belugas, seals and Greenland sharks) adopted the Saint Lawrence River after their ancestors had crossed the arctic Goldthwait Sea, 12,000 years ago!
