Heart of Neolithic Orkney
The Neolithic complex on Orkney includes a large chambered burial site (Maeshow), two ceremonial stone circles (Stenness and Brodgar) and a settlement (Scarra Brae), as well as a number of unexcavated burials, rituals and settlements. The complex forms an important prehistoric cultural landscape, providing a vivid picture of life on this remote archipelago in the far north of Scotland 5,000 years ago.
New Zealand Sub-Antarctic Islands
The New Zealand Subantarctic Islands consist of five island groups (Snares, Bounty, Antipodes, Auckland and Campbell Islands) in the Southern Ocean southeast of New Zealand. Located between the Antarctic and Subtropical Convergence Zones and the ocean, the islands are characterized by high productivity, biodiversity, wildlife population density and endemism of birds, plants and invertebrates. The islands are known for the large and diverse populations of pelagic seabirds and penguins that nest on the islands. A total of 126 bird species are found on the islands, including 40 seabird species, five of which are found nowhere else in the world.
