250 million years ago Nova Scotia was located near the equator, wedged in the center of the super-continent Pangea at the hub of the world. When the earth plates began to separate into the American and the Asian continents, Nova Scotia raised up and the Bay of Fundy and the beautiful Minas Basin were formed, where you can admire today the highest tides of the World, right here at the harbour of Parrsboro!
