Juan Perez Sound
Looking at the southern spine of Moresby Island in Gwaii Haanas from last summer.
I’ll be back there in a couple of weeks and I am looking forward to traversing these waters under sail for the first time.

Hi Mario, I did not know his full name, but was aware of the event. Many of the colonial names in this area are related to late 19th century scientists, mostly in the earthsciences. Darwin, Ramsay, Lyell, Murchison, Faraday, Huxley, Hutton, Sedgwick are some of them. They were named by George Dawson of the Geological Survey of Canada.
