The Johnson Geo Centre is a geological interpretation centre carved into the bedrock of Signal Hill, offering a subterranean journey through Earth's history. Visitors can walk through a recreated underground mine, examine fossils, and learn about plate tectonics. A standout exhibit explores the Titanic's story from a geological perspective, including the iceberg's origins. The centre also covers Newfoundland's natural resources and the science behind the planet's formation, making it a hands-on educational experience for all ages.
