Panorama of Macquarie Island, looking south from North Head, 1968

After several years of mixed intentions, I understand that there are now (2023) plans to rebuild the existing station.

Panorama stitched from three film slides, looking south across the station and isthmus toward the main part of the island. (It is about 35km long and 5km wide). Partly because the old Kodachrome film was low ISO, most photos were taken on sunny "Kodachrome" days - sadly that is not representative of the usual weather. Macquarie has about 350 days yearly on which it rains (or drizzles), it is usually overcast, and often foggy. Strong winds, usually from the west, are almost constant.

Best viewed large.
