The wild Pacific coast of Vancouver island is an ancient and rugged landscape off the western shore of British Columbia. From the icy peaks of age-old mountain glaciers to the fog- shrouded canopies of Canada's only rainforest, it is the wettest place in North America: a primitive habitat where the Pacific Ocean holds the key to life and where nature and the human spirit coexist. It is a paradise for creatures adapted to life by the sea and is home to one of the most sacred sites on Earth- a beautiful and hidden landscape that continues to preserve ancient ways of life.
