Remote Île aux Perroquets at sunrise
Low angle view of the remote Île aux Perroquets (Parrots Island) with its lighthouse seen from the beach during a sunny summer dawn in the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve, Quebec, Canada. Hundreds of Atlantic puffins nest in these cliffs during the summer and the island is protected. Falling rocks are a hazard near the cliffs. The island is situated on a dangerous passage of the St. Lawrence river and its lighthouse was operational as early as 1888, after two shipwrecks.
