Autumn and winter remains warmer than the mainland, due to the oceanic influences. By the same token, spring and summer remain cooler than the mainland because the ocean stays cold during this time period.

It is part of the Outer Lands region, which is a coastal archipelago that resulted from the Wisconsonian Laurentide glacier retreat some 22,000 years ago.
