Pee Pee Island
Pee Pee Island is a small island located in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador in the far east of Canada.[1] It is currently one of the four islands in the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve. In 1983, Pee Pee Island was incorporated into the reserve as it provides a breeding ground for up to 1300 pairs of Atlantic Puffin.[2] Shortly after the incorporation, the name of the island was changed from "Pebble Island" to its current name. The coldest month is February at -6 °C, and the hottest August at 14 °C.[3] The average annual rainfall is 1,517 mm, with the wettest month being January with an average of 185 mm and the driest month July with 71 mm of precipitation.[4]
