Dover is the hometown of Megan’s parents, where her grandparents and aunts and uncles still live! The Dover Fault has wonderful views of the town and Bonavista Bay!

The Fault forms a tectonic boundary between northern portions of the Gander and Avalon Zones of the Newfoundland Appalachians.
Its one of the most important geological structures in understanding Newfoundlands geology and evolution of the Appalachain Mountains. It can be traced throughout the island, and geophysical surveys across the fault indicate that it is a fundamental structure that extends downward for tens of kilometers, transecting the full thickness of the crust. The surface expression of this great break is well developed in its namesake, the Town of Dover.

The beginning of the fault line that ends in Dover can be seen on the guided hiking tour of Mistaken Point!
