Gardner Canal, Coastal inlet in British Columbia, Canada.
The Gardner Canal extends 90 kilometers through British Columbia's coast as a side-inlet of Douglas Channel with steep rock walls and mountain peaks.
Captain George Vancouver discovered and mapped this inlet in 1793, naming it after Admiral Alan Gardner who supported his British Admiralty expedition.
The Kemano River confluence marks the location of a generating station that supplies power to the aluminum production facilities in Kitimat.
The entrance to Gardner Canal lies behind Hawkesbury Island, accessible through Devastation Channel or Varney Passage, with five distinct reaches along its length.
The water displays blue coloration from glacial sediments while numerous waterfalls descend from ice-covered mountain summits into the inlet.
