Birds of the Macquarie Island

Macquarie Island is part of Australia's Tasmania and is located in the southern Pacific Ocean. The climate is cool-temperate with a strong oceanic influence, so that the vegetation is tree-free. Several endemic bird subspecies have evolved, but became extinct after the arrival of humans. At present, only the Macquarie Shag is endemic to the island and the Royal Penguins are restricted to breeding on Macquarie Island. In total, several million seabirds breed on the island, which is not least because of this that it is recognized as a world natural heritage site. Occasionally, the island is visited by expedition cruise ships.

Macquarie Island is located in the Pacific Ocean. Legally Macquarie Island belongs to Australia.
