カナダの自然の驚異

Canada's Natural Wonders

Canada's vast landscape features a diverse array of geological formations and freshwater systems. This collection spans from the UNESCO-listed Joggins Fossil Cliffs in Nova Scotia to the massive Great Bear Lake in the Northwest Territories. It includes unique sites like the annular Manicouagan Reservoir, formed by a meteorite impact, and the Barnes Ice Cap on Baffin Island. The list also highlights geothermal features at Banff's Upper Hot Springs and the power of Nistowiak Falls, one of Saskatchewan's highest cascades.
