Fox Islands (British Columbia)

The Fox Islands are a small group of islands in the entrance to Slingsby Channel in the Queen Charlotte Strait region of the Central Coast region of British Columbia, Canada.[1] Slingsby Channel lies along the north flank of Bramham Island and is one of only two waterways connecting to Seymour Inlet and its side-inlets, which form a maze of inlets within the nearby mainland; the other, on the east side of Bramham, is Schooner Channel (formerly Schooner Passage).[2][3]

Name origin

The Fox Islands, Slingsby Channel and Bramham Island are all named in association with Bramham Park, the Yorkshire home of George Lane-Fox.

The average temperature is 6°C. The warmest month is July at 14°C, and the coldest month is December at 0°C.[4]

The surrounding area is mainly coniferous forest, and is nearly unpopulated with less than two inhabitants per square kilometer.[5][6]
