New Zealand's Sub-Antarctic Islands are a paradise for nature lovers and a place of pilgrimage for birders. The wild Chathams boast 18 unique bird species and the tiny cluster of Bounty Islands are noted for cliff-nesting Bounty Island shags. The Antipodes are home to half the world's population of erect-crested penguins, and in the Sub-Antarctic Islands dusky dolphins, sperm whales, legendary yellow-eyed penguins, southern royal albatross, petrels, and sooty shearwaters are highlights. The scenic splendors and magnificent geography of the World Heritage areas of Doubtful, Dusky, and Milford Sounds of New Zealand make a fitting finale.
