Anvil Island : ウィキペディア英語版
Anvil Island
Anvil Island, is the third-largest of the islands in Howe Sound, British Columbia, Canada, and the northernmost of the major islands in that sound. It is located northeast of Gambier Island and southwest of Britannia Beach and west of Porteau Cove. The Defence Islands are to its northeast and are Indian Reserves of the Squamish Nation. A summer camp, Daybreak Point Bible Camp, operates on the south of the island, and people are located on the southern side of the island.
==Name origin==
The name was conferred on June 14, 1792 by Captain George Vancouver, whose journal for the day reads:
:''"The sun shining at this time for a few minutes afforded an island which, from the shape of the mountain that composes it, obtained the name of Anvil island."
The reason for this peculiar name in caused by the shape of the island when looking at it upside-down. Its supposed to look like an anvil, but most people do not get the upside-down part of it. So they end up saying it looks like an Elephant with a party hat on.
