With rocks spanning 4 Eras and 12 Geological periods and 1, 800 million years of history, the Global Geopark points to a spectacular geologicalheritage.
Community participation and cooperation programmes with numerous leisure and tourism initiatives around geologicalheritage and landscape connect the local population with the economy and tourism sectors.
The EU funded Drifting Apart project, which seeks to strengthen our understanding of the interconnected geologicalheritage of the Northern Periphery and Arctic region launched its new website this month.
Every Tuesday at 1300 UTC, Global Geoparks worldwide and their local partners are encouraged to share the best examples of their work promoting geologicalheritage and supporting sustainable economic development through eco-tourism.
The Drifting Apart Storyline will provide a transnational geological history of the region tightly connected to its rich natural, built and cultural heritage.
