Geological features
The weathering process led to the formation of granite formations on the top of the mountain, similar in shape to a mushroom and called Russian tori . Since this process usually takes a very long time, it is generally accepted that these geological structures indicate that some parts of New Brunswick were not affected during the last, Wisconsin glaciation [2] .
