I love uninhabited islands. They’re just natural and lovely to see. Wanna live at the Antipodes Islands in the Pacific?
This video is an excerpt from Thomas Schmitt’s 2005 documentary which was broadcast on German television on March 31st 2007.
The Antipodes Islands are placed to the south of New Zealand and are volcanic islands, also inhospitable. The islands are 860 km far from the Stewart Island and the Antipodes Island is the biggest of the group, with an area of 20 square meters, followed by the Bollons Island and many more islets and stacks.
The Mount Galloway is Antipodes Islands’ highest point, at 402 m also being the most active volcano of the islands group. The Antipodes Islands are part of the Antipodes Subantarctic Islands tundra ecoregion.
