    Rocher Perce in Winter
    The Rocher Perce (Pierced Rock) is shown in winter. The rock, believed to be 375 million years old, contains numerous fossils. At one time there were two holes in the rock, but one of them collapsed in 1845, leaving the gap seen to the right of the hole in this view.

    Photo from Dan Rose
    This natural formation is in the shape of an Indian's head. The formation is also known as "The Indian Who Never Sees the Sea" since the head looks inland, away from the ocean. This natural wonder is located between Gaspe and Perce on the Gaspesie Penninsula on Quebec's East coast.
