This week at Macca, we have a visual treat: A pictorial feature of stunning Macquarie Island landscapes.

Macquarie Island pictorial feature: Landscapes

In this and future editions of station news, we will be featuring pictorials capturing the incredible breadth and beauty of Macquarie Island, as experienced by the expeditioners of the 70th ANARE. In the first of this series, we present ‘Landscapes'. We hope you enjoy it.
