Paperback. Condizione: New. Revised edition. This book is a history of the British Enderby settlement on the Auckland Islands 1849-52 and its associated whaling venture. Isolation, a stormswept climate, unproductive soil, inexperienced crews, drunkenness and above all an unexpected shortage of whales meant the raw colony ran into trouble and the parent company found itself facing disaster. Two special commissioners were sent to either close the venture down or move it elsewhere, and a bitter struggle developed, with Charles Enderby refusing to admit defeat and Governor Sir George Grey reluctantly becoming involved. Nevertheless the settlement collapsed, and the few Maori settlers on the islands, who had preceded and benefited from the colonists' presence, left soon after. Little trace of the colony remains, and the Auckland Islands are much as they were before Charles Enderby attempted to realise his dream: uninhabited, isolated, wild and beautiful, and now of World Heritage status.…

These remote outposts lie between Aotearoa and Antarctica, battered by the notorious Roaring Forties and gale-force winds of the Southern Ocean. The film delves into the Antipodes, Bounty, Snares, Campbell, and Auckland Island groups, which serve as vital breeding grounds for millions of seabirds and marine mammals. From penguins to sea lions and albatrosses, these islands teem with life. Director Conon Fraser also examines human efforts to inhabit these challenging environments, including whaling depots and the short-lived Hardwick Settlement1.…
