Therefore, most of the park area is very rugged and steep, with its terrain cut by deep rivers and glaciers.

A white hole is a theoretical solution to Einstein's field equations - a region which cannot be entered at all from the outside.

Some theorists even argue that the Big Bang itself is a white hole, gushing out matter and creating a new universe while, on the other end, invisible and unreachable, is a black hole in a totally different universe.
