Sable Island

Sable Island is a remote, narrow island located off the east coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. Known as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic," it features a long sandbar with unique dunes and marshes, home to a large wild horse population. The island is federally protected as a National Park Reserve, serving as a crucial habitat for seabirds, seals, and horses. Its remote location and treacherous waters historically made it a significant navigation hazard for ships. Today, Sable Island remains an important natural and ecological site, emphasizing conservation and research efforts. Access is limited, primarily by ships or authorized flights.
