\"Looking<\/a>
Looking toward the southern shore of Musgrave Inlet from the Spirit of Enderby<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Auckland Island’s east coast is cleft with numerous inlets and Musgrave Inlet was our next destination. The prevailing westerlies rip down the length of these inlets and today was no exception with a wind and spray lashed start to our Zodiac exploration of first, the northern shore, and then another splashy dash across the inlet to the southern side. Hunkered down with back to the spray and camera protected in a large ziplock bag, reaching the sheltered, kelp fringed edges, was a relief.<\/p>\n

An area of cliffs that physically exclude the pigs shows just how lush the tussock, hebes and megaherbs can be when left undisturbed. Light-mantled Albatross wheel above us and we can pick out birds on the nest amongst the vegetation while Eastern Rockhoppers show their form hopping over the rock below.<\/p>\n

The birds and lush vegetation were the highlight of the northern shore and the geology the highlight of the southern. We nosed into a number of small sea caves before heading through a small opening into an open topped pool with rata fringing the rim above and stalactites of moss hanging down toward the water. The roof of what had been a cave had collapsed leaving this magical space. Adjacent to it was another sea cave, deep and dark into which we edged before turning to look back towards the distant light at the mouth.<\/p>\n
