Collection of landscapes of the Auckland and Snares Islands. The sub-Antarctic Auckland and Snare Islands, World Heritage sites, lie respectively 460 and 100 kilometres south of New Zealand and are home to endangered New Zealand sealions, yellow eyed penguins and many majestic albatross species. The New Zealand Government is actively encouraging deep sea oil permits closer and closer to these remarkable islands. Greenpeace has been documenting the extraordinary wildlife of the Auckland and Snare Islands to show what is at risk if planned deep sea oil drilling goes ahead.
