Sable Island is 300 km south-east of Halifax, NS; it is approximately 42 km long and 1.5 km wide at its widest point. Seemingly little more than a sand bar covered in marram grass, it is home to hundreds of feral horses, thousands of birds, several hundred thousand seals and a handful of year-round human inhabitants.

While access to the island is strictly controlled in order to protect its delicate environment, the general public is allowed to visit, so long as they first obtain governmental permission.
