This is a 4K livestream looking south at the Strait of Georgia and Vancouver Island from the Sunshine Coast, BC. The Strait of Georgia is an arm of the Salish Sea between Vancouver Island and the extreme southwestern mainland coast of British Columbia, Canada and the extreme northwestern mainland coast of Washington, United States. It is approximately 240 kilometres (150 mi) long and varies in width from 20 to 58 kilometres (12 to 36 mi). Humpback and Grey whales can often be seen in the strait.

Vancouver Island is an island in the northeastern Pacific Ocean and part of the Canadian province of British Columbia. The island is 456 km (283 mi) in length, 100 km (62 mi) in width at its widest point, and 32,100 km2 (12,400 sq mi) in total area. The island is the largest by area and the most populous along the west coasts of the Americas.
The lights of the city of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island are visible at night when the sky is clear. Alaska Cruise ships leaving the city of Vancouver can be seen in the evening on their way to Alaska during the summer months. Fishing boats, pleasure crafts, and logging barges are a common sight throughout the day. Humpbacks, Grey Whales, Orcas and other large marine mammals live in and migrate along the Georgia Strait. The Strait of Georgia is known as a premier scuba diving and whale watching location.
First Nations communities have surrounded the Strait of Georgia for thousands of years. The first European exploration of the area was undertaken by Captain Jose Maria Narvaez and Pilot Juan Carrasco of Spain in 1791. At this time Francisco de Eliza gave the strait the name "Gran Canal de Nuestra Señora del Rosario la Marinera."
In 1792, it was renamed for King George III[8] as the "Gulf of Georgia" by George Vancouver of Great Britain, during his extensive expedition along the west coast of North America. Vancouver designated the mainland in this region as New Georgia and areas farther north as New Hanover and New Bremen.
In June 23, 1946, Vancouver Island earthquake shocked the Strait of Georgia region, causing the bottom of Deep Bay to sink between 3 and 26 m (9.8 and 85.3 ft).
Visible distant mountain peaks on Vancouver Island:
