Valdes Island

Valdes Island is one of the Gulf Islands located in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada. It is across Porlier Pass from Galiano Island, which lies to the southeast. It has an area of 23 km2, and is 1.6 km wide by 16 km in length. The island is popular with kayakers, boaters and has historically been the site of several human settlements.
==Naming and early exploration==
It is named for Spanish explorer Cayetano Valdés y Flores, who first came to the region in 1791 as a lieutenant serving under Captain Alexandro Malaspina on the ''Descubierta''. Valdes returned later in 1792 as captain of the ''Mexicana'' to explore the area with Dionisio Alcalá Galiano who captained the ''Sutil''.〔http://www.vancouverisland.com/Regions/towns/?townID=4115〕 The island was given its name in 1859 by George Henry Richards, captain of ''HMS Plumper''.
