GROS MORNE
NATIONAL PARK
by Michael Burzynski
More than a field/tourist
guide:
From an Ecosystem Scientist one would expect rather complex and scientific
writing - but Michael Burzynski's book is such a lively depiction, the
reader feels like hiking with him through this spectacular National Park
with it's hidden treasures in Eastern Canada.
Starting his exceptional guide he leads the reader through all seasons, explaining the meteorological impact, best travel times and Gros Morne's flora throughout the year. Scenic route descriptions as well as the rich and diverse wildlife, accompanied by stunning photos of these (often extremely rare) animals, the exciting geology, massive cliffs, forests and fjords, alpine tundra and white sand beaches provides a suspense-packed insight into New Foundland's magnificant UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The history and daily life of today’s Gros Morne human inhabitants
(mostly fishermen) are well described, including the development of tourism
(Gros Morne is one of the least visited National Parc in Canada).
Indispensable for planning a trip at any season: The Gros Morne visitors guide explains in detail how to get there, interpretation offers throughout the park, camping and accommodations, recreation and sports including back country ski tours, "dress-code" for all weather situations, phone numbers and related websites.
Michael Burzynski, a life-long naturalist and for more than 30 years working with Parks Canada seduces the reader to visit Gros Morne's natural beauty right after finishing his book.
