Despite this, Zoya has perfectly settled down on the 34 square kilometer island, feels at home, in peace and quiet — with 400 horses, 300 thousand gray seals and 350 species of various birds that make up her company.

The woman fell in love with the island when she arrived there as a 21-year-old student. I fell in love so much that I decided to make it my home. "I was moaning and complaining, so I wanted to come there again. Initially, I went to the island for the horses."
Now, the researcher rarely returns to her hometown of Halifax in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia and is completely dependent on food supplies once a week. The island can only be reached by boat or charter plane.
For days, the woman studies the ecology of the island and collects horse skulls to help scientists understand how animals were able to adapt to a lifeless environment. Horses were brought to Sable Island in the XVIII century for agricultural work. In 2013, Sable became a national nature reserve.
For four decades of living by the water, Zoey has found everything on the beach — a refrigerator, a box of fresh peppers from a cargo container, a frame from a deflated balloon, and even a prosthesis.
Sable Island was nicknamed the cemetery of the Atlantic, as more than 300 shipwrecks were registered near it.
