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.
