The Refugium Range is a low, small mountain range comprising the mountains/hills of the Brooks Peninsula on northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It has an area of 239abbr=onNaNabbr=on and is a subrange of the Vancouver Island Ranges which in turn form part of the Insular Mountains.[1] The range was named in 1981 by an expedition which found that peaks higher than 700abbr=onNaNabbr=on were above the glaciers during the last ice age and are therefore a refugium with unique plants.
