Abstract:

Sable Island lies some 300 kilimetres of the coast of Atlantic Canada. It is a tiny sand isalnd, the home of two researchers, a herd of ferral horses and the largest breeding colony of grey seals in the world. It is a place of shipwrecks and fable. It is also very significantly ecologically. This programme explored the importance of Sable Island in art, science and literature.
