A wonderful but eerie sight is this photo of an Australian ship during exploration in Australian Antarctica..The photo is called The" Long Long Night" and the shot of the ship was made with twenty various flashlights..certainly puts the ship in a strange light..This card is from a recent a "first day "release by Australia Post from The Australian Antarctic Territory and is a famous photo by the famous photographer  John Hurley..This is courtesy of The Geographical society ( London )

The Island is the home entirely to the Royal Penguin during their annual nesting season.
Ecologically . the Island is part of the Antipodes Sub Antarctic Islands Tundra Eco division. Since 1948 Australia Antarctic Division has maintained a permanent base known as The Macquarie Island Station on an isthmus at the northern end of the island at the foot of wireless Hill.The population of the base, the only human habitation usually varies from 20 to 40 persons over the year.A heliport is located near the base.
