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 convert|239|km2|sqmi|abbr=on|sigfig=2 and is a subrange of the Vancouver Island Ranges which in turn form part of the Insular Mountains. [http://www.bivouac.com/ArxPg.asp?ArxId=1579 Refugium Range] in the Canadian Mountain Encyclopedia] The range was named in 1981 by an expedition which found that peaks higher than convert|700|m|ft|abbr=on|sigfig=2 were above the glaciers during the last ice age and are therefore a refugium with unique plants.
