The Fauna and Flora of Macquarie Island

These lists of flora and fauna are taken from Mary Gillham’s book Sub-Antarctic Sanctuary, which describes her time on Macquarie Island in December 1959. The book was published in 1967, some seven years or so after Mary’s Macquarie expedition ended.

The illustrations Mary drew of animals and plants on Macquarie (along with scribbles over some of her original drawings).
