Group of islands 160 km (100 miles) off the west coast of British Columbia. The main islands are Graham (6452 km2, 2491 sq miles) and Moresby (2567 km2. 991 sq miles). Most of the islands are covered by forests. Coal, copper and gold have been mined, but timber and fishing are more important. Most of the inhabitants are Haida Indians, a tribe that survives only on these and on Prince of Wales Island off Alaska.
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
