Howe Sound is the southernmost fjord in British Columbia. This long, deep inlet was carved out by glaciers and is bordered by steep mountains. The fjord is fed by numerous rivers, including the Squamish River, which originates at the Pemberton Icefield in the Pacific Ranges, and the Cheakamus River, which originates at the McBride Glacier in Garibaldi Provincial Park.

Howe Sound was named in 1792 by Captain George Vancouver after the British Admiral Earl Howe. The Squamish people call the fjord Átl'ḵa7tsem.

Howe Sound is a bay on the Strait of Georgia in northwest Vancouver. Its entrance is located between West Vancouver, in the Greater Vancouver Regional District, and Langdale, in the Sunshine Coast Regional District. The bay stretches inland for about 42 km before ending at Squamish. In September 2021, Howe Sound and large parts of the surrounding area were placed under UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme. (Wikipedia)
