The Island That Will Not Stay Put

Sable Island, Nova Scotia, at dawn — wild horses grazing marram grass on a crescent of sand that will not stay put. About 42 kilometres long, roughly 300 kilometres east-southeast of Halifax, the island drifts slowly eastward under wind and current, wrapped in fog about 125 days a year. Since 1583 more than 350 ships have wrecked on it — the Graveyard of the Atlantic — yet it is full of life: about 400 wild horses, the world's largest grey seal breeding colony, and the Ipswich sparrow, which breeds nowhere else.
