- Folly Island, New Zealand
Folly Island or the Folly Islands is a sub-Antarctic island located in New Zealand's Campbell Island group.
In a survey of the island in 1976, it was found to have rats and "possibly the only pristine stand of"Chionochloa antarctica" in the area according to naturalists. Arthropods surveys were also made and none reported other than Weta. [Foggo, M.N. and Colin D. Meurk. "Notes on a Visit to Jacquemart Island in theCampbell Island Group," "New Zealand Journal of Ecology", Vol. 4, 1981, pp. 29-32.]
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 ] ]
