Tags: Mountain Range.
The Refugium Range is a low small mountain range comprising the mountains/hills of the Brooks Peninsula on northern Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada. It has an area of 239 km2 (92 sq mi) and is a subrange of the Vancouver Island Ranges which in turn form part of the Insular Mountains. The range was named in 1981 by an expedition which found that peaks higher than 700 m (2300 ft) were above the glaciers during the last ice age and are therefore a refugium with unique plants.
