Expedition to Snares Islands

The remote Snares Islands, 105km south-south-west of Stewart Island, are teeming with rare wildlife - including tomtits, albatross and penguins. They seldom have human visitors. In late 2013, four Te Papa scientists spent two weeks on the Snares, carrying out a range of seabird and plant research projects.
Come on the ride to this wild sub-Antarctic nature reserve, and see its unique animals up close.
