Summary:
Though it was discovered almost five hundred years ago, few people have visited
Sable
Island
. Despite modern navigational tools, excessive fog and stormy weather still make travelling to
Sable
a challenge. Add government restrictions limiting visitors to the remote
island
and prohibitive travel costs, and
Sable
is virtually inaccessible to most. But the
island
is part of Maritime lore—dubbed the “graveyard of the Atlantic” because of the number of ships wrecked on its shores,
Sable
Island
also hosts wild horses, tens of thousands of seals, and enchanting “singing” sands and “wandering” dunes. With eighteen species of shark patrolling
Sable
Island’s waters and the regular fights between bands of horses, not to mention treacherous patches of quicksand, the
island
is as dangerous as it is alluring. In this colourful book, author Wendy Kitts introduces the wonders and stark realities of this wild place. Full of photographs and sidebars,
Sable
Island
: The
Wandering
Sandbar
is an accessible and exciting look at this protected, untamed ecosystem.
