Subantarctic Islands of New Zealand
You won’t find them mentioned in a travel brochure
on your high street; you won’t find them in most
guidebooks, you probably don’t know anyone
that has ever been there and they don’t even appear on
some maps of the New Zealand’s South Pacific – these
are the ‘forgotten islands’. Despite their low profile, they
are among the most remarkable wildlife reserves in the
Southern Ocean, designated UNESCO World Heritage
sites and afforded the highest protection of any nature
reserves in New Zealand. Remote, uninhabited and on
no regular shipping route, access is further restricted by
a strict Management Plan which limits the number of
people allowed ashore each year.
