Sable Island

Sable Island is a small, crescent-shaped island located approximately 200 km southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is approximately 34 km long and 1.5 km wide, making it one of the most isolated islands in the world. The island is known for its wild horses, which are believed to be descended from horses that were abandoned by shipwrecked sailors in the 18th century.

Sable Island has a rich history, with evidence of human occupation dating back to the 16th century. The island was used by the French and English as a fishing and whaling station, and was also used as a base for privateers during the War of 1812. In 1801, the island was granted to the British government and in 1811, the British established a life-saving station on the island.

Today, Sable Island is a National Park Reserve and is managed by Parks Canada. The island is home to a variety of wildlife, including the wild horses, grey seals, and numerous bird species. It is also home to a variety of rare plants, including the Sable Island cotton grass, which is found nowhere else in the world.

Sable Island is an important part of Canadian history and culture, and is an important refuge for wildlife.

The island is also a popular tourist destination, with visitors coming to observe the unique wildlife and explore the rich history of the island.
