Enchanted by Haida Gwaii (Edmonton Journal)

From The Edmonton Journal via canada.com:

Edmonton Journal

"Haida Gwaii is a magical land of power and peace, a group of islands some have called Canada's Galapagos, on the edge of the continental shelf, ranging 50 to130 kilometres out in the Pacific Ocean from British Columbia's mainland. Haida Gwaii is the name the First Nations originally called the Queen Charlotte Islands, and most people on the islands continue to call them Haida Gwaii".
