From sublime beauty to mysteries of an unknown world tucked away at the edge of the Pacific ocean
Nuchatlitz lagoon, framed by a formidable offshore wall of reefs and rocks, is sprinkled with small islands. Consulting the Canadian Hydrographic Service chart entitled Esperanza Inlet, one is quickly puzzled by their odd place names.
