Queen Florence Island is a location from the Disney animated series, Gargoyles.
Background[]
Queen Florence Island is located in the western coast of Canada and is home to a group of Haida people. Over the years, Raven attempted to have the island, planning to claim the island for himself, forcing the humans and animals who lived in this place to stay out of his territory so that he could have the land to himself. According to Grandmother, it is said that the current Haida chieftain would climb to the top of the volcano to battle against the notorious Raven and drive him away from the island to restore prosperity to the island.
The Manhattan Clan (consisting of Goliath, Elisa, Angela, and Bronx) visited Queen Florence Island as their second stop as part of the Avalon World Tour. When they visited the island, they approached Grandmother to help persuade Natsilane in doing his part in battling Raven atop the volcano to take over the current chieftain's role as Natsilane was a modern scientist and Raven tricked Goliath believing that he was part of a gargoyle clan living and hiding at the volcano to avoid being hunted by humans, in reference to local gargoyles living on this island having their clans being destroyed by local humans as a result of many local gargoyles being killed, decreasing the gargoyle population in Queen Florence Island. Goliath then learned the truth from Elisa and Grandmother about this before it was too late, thanks to Natsilane who battled Raven atop the volcano and defeated him and later Grandmother using her magic to restore the island.
