 The
five
southernmost
groups
of
the
New
Zealand
Outlying
Islands
form
the
New
Zealand
Sub-Antarctic
islands.
These
islands
are
all
UNESCO
World
Heritage
Sites. |
|
|
|
Most
of
the
islands
are
located
near
the
southernmost
edge
of
the
largely
submerged
continent
centred
on
New
Zealand
called
Zealandia.
It
sank
after
rifting
away
from
Australia
60-85
million
years
ago
and
from
Antarctica
between
130
and
85
million
years
ago.
It
is
3,500,000
km²
in
area,
almost
half
the
size
of
Australia
and
is
unusually
long
and
narrow. |

showing
New
Zealand's
sub-antarctic
islands.
Until
1995,
scientific
research
staff
was
stationed
permanently
at a
meteorological
station
on
Campbell
Island.
Since
then,
the
islands
are
uninhabited.
The
islands
are: |
|
|
|
•
Antipodes
Islands:
main
island,
plus
Bollons
Island,
the
Windward
Islands,
Orde
Lees
Island,
Leeward
Island,
and
South
Islet,
plus
minor
rocks
•
Auckland
Islands:
Auckland
Island,
Adams
Island,
Disappointment
Island,
Enderby
Island,
Ewing
Island
and
Rose
Island,
plus
minor
rocks
•
Bounty
Islands:
two
small
groups
of
islets,
the
Western
Group
and
the
Eastern
Group,
plus
minor
rocks
•
Campbell
Island
group:
Campbell
Island,
the
main
island,
plus
several
minor
rocks
and
small
islets
surrounding
Campbell
Island,
including
New
Zealand's
southernmost
point,
Jacquemart
Island
•
The
Snares:
Northeast
Island,
High
Island,
Broughton
Island,
Alert
Stack,
Tahi,
Rua,
Toru,
Wha,
and
Rima,
plus
minor
rocks
|
|
|
|
They
share
some
features
with
Australia's
Macquarie
Island
to
the
west. |
|
|
|
New Zealand also has territorial claims under the Antarctic Treaty System on several islands close to the Antarctic mainland, namely: |
|
|
|
•
Ross
Island
•
Balleny
Islands:
Young
Island,
Buckle
Island,
and
Sturge
Island,
plus
several
smaller
islets
•
Roosevelt
Island
•
Scott
Island |
|
|
|
Of
these,
Ross
Island
is
inhabited
by
the
scientific
staff
of
several
research
stations,
notably
at
McMurdo
Sound
and
Scott
Base. |
