Sable Island
Prepare to embark on an adventure with Rick Mercer to a truly extraordinary corner of Canada: Sable Island. Imagine a slender crescent of sand, perpetually reshaped by the relentless forces of the Atlantic, lying far out at sea. This is no ordinary beach; it’s a dynamic ecosystem unlike any other, teeming with life and steeped in history.
Forget the typical tourist destinations; Sable Island offers a glimpse into a world where wild horses roam free, their manes dancing in the salt-laced wind, and where thousands of grey seals bask on the shores, their calls echoing across the dunes. This fragile island, a mere ribbon of sand and vegetation, is also home to rare and unique plant life, specially adapted to the harsh maritime environment. And beneath the waves surrounding Sable, lies a graveyard of shipwrecks, a silent testament to the island’s treacherous past and the powerful forces of the ocean.
So, buckle up for a virtual adventure to Sable Island, where nature’s raw beauty and historical intrigue collide.
