Bounty Islands
New Zealand
On 9 September 1788, Captain William Bligh discovered the islands and named them for his ship, the "Bounty", and in 1870, British Captain George Palmer took possession of the islands for Queen Victoria. The Bounty Islands are made up of 22 small islets, the largest one not more than 1 km in size, and the rare erect-crested penguin breeds only here and on the Antipodes. The Bounty Islands are also the home of over 100,000 Salvin's albatrosses.
