Description of Islands

The islands of the Iles-de-la-Madeleine Archipelago are the visible summits of an underwater ridge emerging from the sea. Sand dunes link these summits, which creates the Magdalen Islands. Each individual island is a rocky, mountainous outcrop characterized by the presence of high, rounded, bare-looking hills. These hills rise from a platform, which inclines gradually towards the sea. Islanders built their houses and farms on these gently sloping areas. The area of the Magdalen Islands is 202 km².
