Barbara Cassin (born October 24, 1947) is a French philologist and philosopher, born in 1947 in Boulogne-Billancourt.
It nests on offshore islands, with the main population stronghold being Triangle Island off Vancouver Island's Cape Scott, where the population is estimated to be around 550,000 pairs.
The easier route to the summit is quoted TD but more difficult routes exist, many on them on vertical ice and with overhanging section of mixed terrain such as the Cassin route (70° ice and a pitch rated UIAA IV+).
She continued to publish in major journals as late as 2006; Callaloos post-Katrina issue featured "Three Love Poems by a Native," which Cassin also read during an October 26, 1995 interview with WWNO-FM's Fred Kasten.

Despite failing health and artistic isolation, Cassin communicated with other poets, artists, and friends through the World Wide Web, usually through messages typed in all-capital letters.
The first ascent of the peak was in 1976 by Russell McLean and Charlie Porter (fresh from the first solo of the Cassin Ridge on Mount McKinley).
The parasite is causing significant mortality in Darwin's finch nestlings and threaten the survival of some rarer species such as the Mangrove Finch (Camarhynchus heliobates) and the Medium Tree Finch (C. pauper).
The common name and Latin binomial commemorate the Australian polar explorer and ornithologist Captain Sir George Hubert Wilkins.
