Gaspésie National Park : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gaspésie National Park
Gaspésie National Park ((フランス語:Parc national de la Gaspésie)) is a provincial park located south of the town of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, Quebec, Canada in the inland of the Gaspé peninsula. The park contains the highest peak of the Appalachian Mountains in the province of Quebec, Mont Jacques-Cartier, 1,270 meters above sea level. In addition, the park contains the only population of Caribou found south of the Saint Lawrence River in Canada. ==Geology== There are two major and geologically distinct mountain ranges in the park. The first one, to the west of the St-Anne's River, is the Chic-Choc Mountain range. This range is 600 million years old and was mainly formed from underwater volcanic activitiy. In contrast, the McGerrigle Mountains are much younger, only 380 million years. From the depths of the sea, magma oozed through cracks in the Earth's crust and then cooled, resulting in a large underground granite batholith. Over time, the softer sedimentary rocks above the batholith eroded away, leaving only the resistant granite. Mont Jacques-Cartier is part of this range.
