About Auckland Island
Auckland Island is the main island of the Auckland Islands, an uninhabited group about 465 km south of Bluff. They are the largest of New Zealand's subantarctic islands and are known for their rich flora. The group is part of the NZ Subantarctic Islands World Heritage Area and is ringed by a marine reserve.
Two ancient volcanoes, later carved by glaciers, formed the islands: high cliffs face the west and south, and long inlets cut into the east coast. Musgrave Inlet, on the east side, is known for sheer cliffs that have kept out introduced animals, leaving a notable wildflower display.
The islands are an important breeding ground for seabirds, yellow-eyed penguins and New Zealand sea lions. Shipwreck and castaway sites, such as the Grafton wreck in Carnley Harbour, recall a harsh history.
- Climate
- Cool, cloudy, wet and windy subantarctic oceanic climate, with strong westerly winds and little change through the year. In the summer cruise season, from December to February, average temperatures at Port Ross were about 10-11 C, with daytime highs of about 13-15 C. Winters average about 5-6 C, and snow can fall in any month, though it rarely lies for long. Rain or drizzle falls on more than 300 days a year: about 1,500 mm a year at Port Ross and over 2,000 mm at Carnley Harbour. Fog, gales and fast weather changes are common. These figures come from short, old records and are approximate.
