Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park lies in the heart of California. With its 'hanging' valleys, many waterfalls, cirque lakes, polished domes, moraines and U-shaped valleys, it provides an excellent overview of all kinds of granite relief fashioned by glaciation. At 600–4,000 m, a great variety of flora and fauna can also be found here.

Parc national de Yosemite

Au cœur de la Californie, le parc national de Yosemite, avec ses vallées suspendues, ses cascades innombrables, ses lacs de cirque, ses dômes polis, ses moraines et ses vallées en U, permet d'observer toutes les formes d'un relief granitique façonné par les glaciations. S'étageant de 600 à 4 000 m d'altitude, il abrite en outre une flore et une faune extrêmement variées.

Nationaal park Yosemite

Het Nationaal park Yosemite ligt in het hart van Californië. Met zijn ‘hangende’ valleien, vele watervallen, meren, gepolijste koepelvormige rotsen, morenen en U-vormige valleien toont het park allerlei hoedanigheden van granietreliëf, gevormd door ijstijden. Op 600 tot 4.000 meter hoogte is er een grote verscheidenheid aan flora en fauna te vinden. Deze wordt weerspiegeld door het bestaan van zes verschillende vegetatiezones - beheerst door de hoogtevariatie - waarvan de uitgestrekte bergweiden erg bijzonder zijn. In Yosemite zijn 1.200 soorten bloeiende planten, diverse varens, mossen en korstmossen te vinden. Het gebied telt acht met uitsterven bedreigde plantensoorten. Daarnaast telt het park 569 archeologische locaties.

Statement of Significance

Yosemite National Park vividly illustrates the effects of glacial erosion of granitic bedrock, creating geologic features that are unique in the world. Repeated glaciations over millions of years have resulted in a concentration of distinctive landscape features, including soaring cliffs, domes, and free-falling waterfalls. There is exceptional glaciated topography, including the spectacular Yosemite Valley, a 914-meter (1/2 mile) deep, glacier-carved cleft with massive sheer granite walls. These geologic features provide a scenic backdrop for mountain meadows and giant sequoia groves, resulting in a diverse landscape of exceptional natural and scenic beauty.

Criterion (vii): Yosemite has exceptional natural beauty, including 5 of the world's highest waterfalls, a combination of granite domes and walls, deeply incised valleys, three groves of giant sequoia, numerous alpine meadows, lakes, diversity of life zones and variety of species.

Criterion (viii): Glacial action combined with the granitic bedrock has produced unique and pronounced landform features including distinctive polished dome structures, as well as hanging valleys, tarns, moraines and U-shaped valleys. Granitic landforms such as Half Dome and the vertical walls of El Capitan are classic distinctive reflections of geologic history. No other area portrays the effects of glaciation on underlying granitic domes as well as Yosemite does.

Notes
  • Property inscribed for both geological and ecological values under natural criterion N (ii) before 1994. Criterion N (i) [Operational Guidelines 2002] was added. For more details see Decision 30.COM 8D.1.
