HENDERSON ISLAND IS A REMOTE AND UNINHABITED ELEVATED CORAL ATOLL LOCATED IN THE EASTERN SOUTH PACIFIC.
- IT IS THE LARGEST OF THE FOUR ISLANDS OF THE PITCAIRN ISLAND GROUP OF WHICH ONLY PITCAIRN, LYING 200 KM TO ITS SOUTHWEST, IS INHABITED.
- THIS GEM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACIFIC IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST REMAINING EXAMPLES OF AN ELEVATED CORAL ATOLL ECOSYSTEM.
- IT EXHIBITS REMARKABLE BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY GIVEN THE ISLAND’S SIZE, WITH FOUR ENDEMIC SPECIES OF LAND BIRDS, TEN TAXA OF ENDEMIC VASCULAR PLANTS AND LARGE BREEDING SEABIRD COLONIES.
- EVERY DAY ON HENDERSON ISLAND — ONE OF THE MOST REMOTE PLACES ON EARTH — TRASH FROM EVERY CONTINENT EXCEPT ANTARCTICA WASHES UP ITS SHORES. FISHING NETS AND FLOATS, WATER BOTTLES, AND PLASTICS BREAK INTO SMALL PARTICLES AGAINST THE ROCKS AND SAND.
- FEW HUMANS HAVE SET FOOT ON THE ISLAND, WHICH LIES HALFWAY BETWEEN NEW ZEALAND AND SOUTH AMERICA, 71 MILES AWAY FROM THE NEAREST SETTLEMENT.
- IN 2015, JENNIFER LAVERS, A RESEARCHER AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA, TRAVELED TO HENDERSON IN AN EFFORT TO DOCUMENT THE EXTENT OF PLASTICS POLLUTION.
- WHEN A SHORELINE INTERRUPTS A CURRENT'S PATH, THE JUNK SETTLES THERE.
- THE TRASH SITUATION WAS FAR WORSE THAN SHE EXPECTED. DEBRIS BLANKETED THE BEACHES.
- HENDERSON WAS THE EPITOME OF THE PHENOMENON.
- THREE AND A HALF MONTHS LATER, LAVERS' TEAM COUNTED 53,000 PIECES OF HUMAN-MADE DEBRIS. BY THEIR CALCULATIONS, HENDERSON'S 14 SQUARE MILES CONTAINS MORE THAN 37 MILLION PIECES OF TRASH.
- ACCORDING TO THE ATLANTIC, HENDERSON MIGHT HAVE THE HIGHEST DENSITY OF PLASTIC DEBRIS REPORTED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. LAVERS ESTIMATES AT LEAST 3,750 NEW PIECES OF LITTER WASH UP DAILY.
- LAVERS SAID IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO WIPE HENDERSON CLEAN.

Auckland Travel Guide - Amazing New Zealand experience
Auckland Travel Guide - Amazing New Zealand experience
Auckland is a modern cosmopolitan city with a population of 1.45 million people — roughly one third of New Zealand's entire population reside in Auckland. In the centre, the iconic Sky Tower has views of Viaduct Harbour, which is full of superyachts and lined with bars and cafes. Auckland Domain, the city’s oldest park, is based around an extinct volcano and home to the formal Wintergardens. Near Downtown, Mission Bay Beach has a seaside promenade.
The city and suburbs have developed within the same time frame and similar urban patterns as California (Los Angeles and Auckland have shared urban planning designs and are sister cities). Today the city and suburbs sprawl over a large urban area, hemmed to the east and west by two large harbours (Waitemata and Manukau) and ocean (Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea) beyond.
Auckland is in a temperate climate zone and does not experience hot or cold extremes at any time of year. The summer months are December to March. The sun is very strong during this time and it is advisable to use sunscreen and cover skin from prolonged exposure. April to June brings cooler temperatures and rain toward the end of June which persists through winter until September and October.
If you want to explore Auckland's more distant suburbs, it's possible to take a service from the CBD to a hub where information and further connections are available. Hubs are located in larger suburban centres - retail malls, entertainment facilities and (depending on destination) beaches are never far away. The bigger hubs are (buses only unless otherwise indicated):
Albany
Orewa/Hibiscus Coast
Botany
Sylvia Park (buses and trains)
Henderson (buses and trains)
Otahuhu
Onehunga (train station nearby)
Manukau (buses and trains)
Newmarket (buses and trains)
New Lynn (buses and trains)
Takapuna
Highbury/Birkenhead

Ganz nahe an der mysthischen Nordspitze von Neuseeland liegt dieses wundervolle Stück Natur, mit einer Minilagune, welche sich bei Flut mit Salzwasser füllt, bei Ebbe aber leer steht.
