Upper Island Cove

A view of the town of Upper Island Cove looking east into Conception Bay. The 100 m slope from where an eight tonne block toppled can be seen at the left of the picture. The rock came from a wedge type failure, and travelled down a direct path, bouncing and splitting into two fragments at the base of the slope. One fragment came to rest on top of a car.
