One of the Best Natural Attractions in Toronto - Must See
士嘉堡悬崖的点评
点评：Toronto like many urban centers has most of its great attractions in developed areas; however, it does have some equally great natural areas. One of the best is an escarpment of glacial moraine that was piled up by glaciers thousands of years ago to form the old shoreline of Great Lake Iroquois. When Lake Ontario formed latter at a lower level, its tides and waves eroded the escarpment to create one of Canada best natural amenities, Scarborough Bluffs.
The Bluffs are unique to the lake and the highest point along its entire shoreline. They extend nearly 9 miles from the Victoria Park Ave east to Highland Creek. They reach a highest point at nearly 300 feet above the lake (90 meters) around Cathedral Bluff, but they are most dramatic and best seen from Bluffer's Park along the shoreline where they are sheer.
They were named by Elizabeth Simcoe, wife of Toronto founder and first Governor of Upper Canada, John Simcoe, because they reminded her of the limestone bluffs along the shoreline of her hometown Scarborough, England. Like the English shoreline, these bluffs were created by erosion that interestingly contributes to the other most amazing, natural asset in Toronto, the Toronto Islands which create Toronto's natural harbor. It is interesting that these two pieces of truly unique geography for Lake Ontario have links to each other.
There are several parks along the bluff line in the former city of Scarborough, now a district of Toronto. We visited Scarborough Cresent Park above and Bluffer's Park below to see and experience this truly unique natural phenomenon along the lake. This was our last stop in Canada on our last morning before boarding our return home. The impending flight meant we were not able to dedicate as much time as I would have liked. However, everyone in our group was glad we made time to stop and see this. It is a beautiful natural spot in the city and the best chance we had to experience the lake as well. I highly recommend you take the time to visit. If you are travelling to see sites east of Toronto this is a great stop either coming or going that will be close to your travels.

翻译：和许多城市一样，多伦多的大多数著名景点都位于已开发的区域；不过，这里也有一些同样出色的自然景观。其中最棒的当属一处由冰川沉积物形成的陡崖——数千年前的冰川将沉积物堆积起来，形成了古易洛魁湖的湖岸线。后来，安大略湖在更低的位置形成，其潮汐与波浪不断侵蚀这座陡崖，最终造就了加拿大最出色的自然景观之一：斯卡伯勒悬崖。这些峭壁是该湖泊独有的地貌，也是整个湖岸线上最高的地点。它们从维多利亚公园大道向东延伸近9英里，直至高地溪。在大教堂峭壁一带，其高度可达湖面以上近300英尺（90米）；不过最壮观的景象还是出现在湖岸边的布拉弗公园附近，那里的峭壁极为陡峭，极具视觉冲击力。
这些峭壁的命名者是伊丽莎白·辛科，她是多伦多的创立者兼上加拿大首任总督约翰·辛科的妻子。因为这些岩壁让她想起了家乡英国斯卡伯勒海岸线上的石灰岩峭壁。与英格兰的海岸线类似，这些岩壁也是由侵蚀作用形成的；而这种侵蚀恰恰促成了多伦多另一大令人惊叹的自然奇观——多伦多群岛的形成，正是这些岛屿构成了多伦多天然的港湾。有趣的是，安大略湖畔这两处极为独特的地貌其实相互关联。在曾经的士嘉堡市——如今多伦多的一个区——的悬崖沿线有几座公园。我们先后游览了上方的士嘉堡新月公园和下方的布拉弗公园，只为亲眼目睹并亲身感受这一沿湖而生的独特自然奇观。这是我们返回家园前，在加拿大的最后一站。由于航班即将起飞，我们没能像期望的那样在此多停留片刻。不过……我们一行人都很高兴我们抽空来这里参观。这是城市中一处美丽的自然景点，也是我们体验湖景的最佳机会。我极力推荐大家抽空前来游览。如果您计划游览多伦多东部的景点，无论往返途中，这里都是一个绝佳的停靠点，非常方便。
