In the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve, glaciers, wind, waves and other erosive forces have created the largest concentration of monoliths in the country. Almost one thousand islands and islets are scattered across the coastline, shaped into festooned cliffs, caves, arches and rocky sentinels. Explore them by kayak, or for the less adventurous, with a boat tour departing from one of the towns on the north shore of the St Lawrence.
