ニュージーランド南島の沖合いで「発見」された無人島がオークランド諸島と命名。
In 1806, British sealer Captain Abraham Bristow sights and names the Auckland Islands, a previously uncharted archipelago south of New Zealand.
Captain Abraham Bristow leads a sealing expedition into subantarctic waters near New Zealand’s South Island.
On this voyage, he identifies an uninhabited group of islands and names them after Lord Auckland.
The discovery expands European geographic knowledge of the Southern Ocean.
The remote islands become known for their rich seal and bird populations, later drawing scientific interest.
Today, the Auckland Islands are protected as part of New Zealand’s subantarctic reserves.
They host unique ecosystems, including albatross colonies and endemic plant species.
