The bay, located along border of the United States and Canada, is well south of the typical snowy owl range. Once or twice a decade, owls migrate farther south in an event known as an irruption. Irruptions happen when the snowy owl population is too large for the available food supply on the Arctic tundra.

  • The Georgina Point Lighthouse sits at the northern tip of Mayne Island in British Columbia, Canada. It marks the eastern entrance to Active Pass, and as a result, it's also known as the Active Pass Lighthouse.

The current lighthouse, built in 1940, was decommissioned in 1969. It is now part of the Parks Canada Gulf Islands National Park Reserve.

  • Two snowy owls (Bubo scandiacus, formerly Nyctea scandiaca) rest together on a log near Boundary Bay, British Columbia, Canada.

Irruptions occur when the snowy owl population is too large for the food supply on the Arctic tundra, forcing them to spread out much farther than normal.

The peak is popular with rock climbers and paragliders.
