Campbell Island

Campbell Island is an uninhabited subantarctic island in the New Zealand archipelago in the southern Pacific Ocean. It is located about 680 km south of the South Island of New Zealand, and is the largest island in the archipelago. The island covers an area of 113.68 square kilometres, and is home to a wide variety of unique flora and fauna.

The island is a rugged and mountainous terrain, with its highest peak, Mount Honey, standing at 500 metres above sea level. It is also known for its rocky shorelines, which are composed of a variety of different kinds of rocks, including basalt and andesite. The island's climate is cold and wet, with temperatures rarely rising above 10 degrees Celsius.

Campbell Island was first discovered by Captain Frederick Hasselborough in 1810. It was later named after Robert Campbell, a Scottish merchant who bought the island from the British government in 1837. The island was used as a whaling station until 1874, when it became a base for seal hunting.

In 1894, the island was declared a nature reserve, and in 1954, it was declared a scientific reserve. Today, the island is a World Heritage Site and is managed by the Department of Conservation. It is home to a wide variety of birds, including albatross, petrels, shearwaters, and penguins. The island is also home to a number of rare and endangered species, including the Campbell Island teal, the Campbell Island snipe, and the Campbell Island sea lion.
