Mostly the flight is pretty dull as it's just over seemingly endless open ocean. It gets interesting when the crescent shape of Sable island appears in the distance.

As we approached the island we could see the thousands of seals dotting the beaches and all over the dunes.

Our first night on the island was to be spent at B.I.O. house. It turned into two night due to high winds and rain (this photo was taken a few days later)

When the weather cleared up enough we loaded up the ATVs and headed for the more rustic accomodations at East Light.

I had the amazing privilege of visiting Sable Island where I volunteered to work with scientists doing research on seal population.
