About

Campbell Island, some 600km south of Stewart Island, is approximately 70 sq km in area. It is buffeted by howling gales, drenched in driving rain, sees little sunshine even in summer, and its forests consist of one single, cowering spruce tree. Its existence was unknown to Maori. It was discovered in 1810 and thereafter served occasionally as a base for sealing and whaling.

Continuity of habitation did not begin until 1941, when the island became of strategic importance as a coast watching station. The war years proved its value as a meteorological observation post and it has been used and developed in this capacity ever since; it has also a unique value in ecological studies.

Includes monochrome images, maps on end papers.

Remarks

Increasingly scarce.
