Panorama of Macquarie Island, looking south from North Head, 1968
After several years of mixed intentions, I understand that there are now (2023) plans to rebuild the existing station.
Panorama stitched from three film slides, looking south across the station and isthmus toward the main part of the island. (It is about 35km long and 5km wide). Partly because the old Kodachrome film was low ISO, most photos were taken on sunny "Kodachrome" days - sadly that is not representative of the usual weather. Macquarie has about 350 days yearly on which it rains (or drizzles), it is usually overcast, and often foggy. Strong winds, usually from the west, are almost constant.
Best viewed large.

What IS this Idiocy Season the wold is in. It can stop right now and grow UP !
Polyrus has replied to Pam J clubIt then starts to get messy with politicians saying the country is now having to allocate far more resources to securing the country from terrorists that there is far less funding for anything else. Warmongering nations which get involved with global politics should also help fund major ecology projects on our planet but I doubt if that will happen unless oil is a by-product.
