These picturesque islands were formed as a result of water erosion, which for thousands of years was caused by sea tides. Large streams of water have formed a beautiful coastline of the bay. Powerful tides in the Bay of Fundy have formed a unique ecosystem: rocky cliffs, natural sandstone statues, an abundance of whales and dolphins, guinea pigs and other animals and birds.
