Campbell Island group

Campbell Island group

The Campbell Island group (or Campbell Islands) is a group of sub-Antarctic islands, belonging to New Zealand. The Campbell Island group consists of one big island, Campbell Island, and several much smaller islets like Dent Island, Folly Island (or Folly Islands) and Jacquemart Island. Ecologically, they are part of the Antipodes Subantarctic Islands tundra ecoregion.

The area is among one of five sub-Antarctic island groups designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. [ [http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/877/multiple=1&unique_number=1029 New Zealand Sub-Antarctic Islands - UNESCO World Heritage Centre ] ]
