🎧  Listen to Introduction

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.
