Known as the Galapagos of the Southern Ocean, the New Zealand Sub-Antarctic is home to islands that each have their own sub-species of albatross. On Enderby Island, this darker-coloured albatross is slightly different to its cousins on Auckland Island.A hike across the island and up to the cliffs rewards you with a view looking down on the nesting area. It was a joy to perch on the clifftop to watch these aerial acrobats ride the thermals, tend their nests and feed their young.
