Triangle Island

The island is notable for being the location of British Columbia's largest seabird colony, hosting such species as the Cassin's auklet and the tufted puffin.Visiting the island requires permits from the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, and it is usually frequented only by researchers.[1] The island takes its name from its triangular appearance on sea navigation charts.[3] A lighthouse existed on the island from 1909 to 1919 but was abandoned due to severe fog, regular hurricane-force winds, and conditions utterly repellent to human habitation.[2] In 2004, the lantern room from the lighthouse was moved to the Sooke Region Museum, though the base remains on Triangle Island.
