Water droplets on a feather in the subantarctic (Mawson Point, Macquarie Island, March 2008). Macquarie Island (54° 30' S, 158° 57' E) is located in the Southern Ocean approximately halfway between Antarctica and Australia and lies just north of the Antarctic Convergence oceanic boundary. The island is an important breeding place for millions of seabirds, the majority of which belong to one of the four penguin species that occur on the island but also includes species of petrel, albatross, skua, kelp gull, cormorant, prion and shearwater.
