Triangle Island
Triangle Island is a small island, approximately in area,〔Anne Vallee Triangle Island Ecological Reserve Purpose Statement Ministry of Environment ()〕 located off the northwestern tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It is situated approximately from Vancouver Island and from Sartine Island, Triangle Island's nearest neighbour in the Scott Islands group. The island is notable for being the location of British Columbia's largest seabird colony, hosting such species as the Cassin's auklet and the tufted puffin.〔(Triangle Island Searbird Research Station General Information )〕 The Cassin's auklet population is the world's largest.〔 The island is administratively a part of the Scott Islands Marine Wildlife Area and is more specifically home to the Anne Vallée Triangle Island Ecological Reserve, named after a researcher who frequented the island and died there in an accident in 1982. Visiting the island requires permits from the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, and it is usually only frequented only by researchers. It is the westernmost and most remote island in British Columbia save for Haida Gwaii off the northern British Columbia coast.〔 The island takes its name from its triangular appearance on sea navigation charts.〔(British Columbia Geographical Names )〕
A lighthouse existed on the island from 1909 to 1919 but was abandoned due to severe fog. The island is otherwise uninhabited and unimproved, aside from a small cabin for research use.〔 In 2004, the lantern room from the lighthouse was moved to the Sooke Region Museum, though the base remains on Triangle Island. 〔(Triangle Island, BC ), Lighthouse Friends〕
The island was the site of ancient First Nations hunting and egg-collecting activities.〔
