Newfoundland, where the trail picks up again at Channel-Port aux Basques and follows the west coast of the island up the Great Northern Peninsula before terminating at the island's northernmost tip, Cape Bauld. From there the IAT skips over the Strait of Belle Isle to the northern terminus of the Appalachian Mountain chain at Belle Isle. Extension to Europe and North Africa Geological evidence shows that the Appalachian Mountains, certain mountains of Western Europe, and the Anti-Atlas range in North Africa are parts of the ancient Central Pangean Mountains, made when minor supercontinents collided to form the supercontinent Pangaea more than 250 million years ago. With the break-up of Pangaea, sections of the former range remained with the continents as they drifted to their present locations. Inspired by this evidence, the IAT has been extended into Western Europe and North Africa. In 2010 and 2011, chapters of the International Appalachian Trail were established in Greenland, Scotland (the West Highland Way became the first IAT trail in Europe), Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, England, Ulster-Ireland, Wales, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Spain and Morocco. Highlights Parks along the IAT include: Canada Mount Carleton Provincial Park (New Brunswick) Gaspésie National Park (Quebec) Forillon National Park (Quebec) Sir Richard Squires Provincial Park (Newfoundland) Ship's Arm Provincial Park (Newfoundland) Gros Morne National Park (Newfoundland) Europe The Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Wales Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, Scotland See also New England-Acadian forests References Hughes, C.J.
