These mountains are bordered by the salted waters of the estuary of the Saint-Lawrence River. The cohabitation of the mountains with the giant river makes for spectacular landscapes. Exceptionally, the subarctic taiga extends to the northern part of the region while the boreal forest dominates the rest. This gives the region a wide diversity of fauna and flora. The caribou and the grey wolf, usual inhabitants of the north, as well as the black bear, the moose, the deer and the hare, more common to the south, can easily be observed.
Whales watching is thus a very popular activity in the region.
