A Virtual Field Trip of the Landscapes of Nova Scotia
Hop in and join Dr. Ralph (alias Air Wolf) on a scenic virtual flight around Nova Scotia. In the fantastic world of cyberspace we will enjoy some spectacular vistas from the air and occasionally land to look at the geology up close and personal.
While on the flight you can browse through a series of brochures and maps outlining the glacial and surficial geology of Nova Scotia.
