The Sad Saga of Macquarie Island
Here's another one for the "Oops!" file. Macquarie Island was discovered by humans early in the 19th century, and was soon seeing a brisk traffic in sealers who brought more than just hunting supplies to the small island southeast of Australia. The introduction of rats and mice (inadvertently brought to the island on sealers' ships), cats (meant to control the population of rats and mice, of course), and rabbits (tasty victuals for the intrepid sealers) has virtually destroyed the island's ecosystem and caused the population of native seabirds to dwindle. A study conducted by scientists from the Australian Antarctic Division and released earlier this month confirms that the most recent attempts to protect what is left of the natural flora and fauna have actually succeeded in creating conditions under which seabirds continue to die. Arko Lucieer, geologist at the University of Tasmania and co-author of the study, explains the situation to GOOD News.

Macquarie Island Resupply
This video was shot by Rick Besso in January 1996 and is the delayed resupply for 1995 (the usual vessel the R/V Aurora Australis was in dry-dock with a damaged stern gland). The AS350 helicopters bring in new food and supplies from the M/V Polarbird and take back the accumulated rubbish using small cage pallets on slings. One major task is the boat has to pump 250KL of diesel fuel ashore to run the powerhouse for the next 12 months. Edited & uploaded by Hullwarren.
