Giant Kelp on Macquarie Island
Macquarie Island lies in the southwest Pacific Ocean, about half way between New Zealand and Antarctica. It is geographically a part of Tasmania and became a State Reserve in 1978 and a World Heritage Area in 1997, although it remained a part of Esperance Municipality until 1993. The island is home to the entire population of royal penguins during their annual nesting season.
Photographed in 1984, this image depicts giant bull kelp (Durvillaea antarctica) at Hasselborough Bay on the far north coast of Macquarie Island. Giant bull kelp can grow to 20 metres in length, at a rate of up to 60cm per day!
Pigment ink print on archival Canson Platine fibre rag paper, 100% cotton.
The images by Peter Dombrovskis have been through an exhaustive remastering process. The high resolution scans from the National Library have been painstakingly retouched to remove embedded dust and scratches. To ensure accurate colour rendition, they have been referenced against publications that Peter was proud of and the prints have been checked and approved by Liz Dombrovskis. The images are printed with pigment ink on Canson Platine Fibre Rag, a 100% cotton rag archival paper. These prints will last over 100 years and are amongst the most archival processes currently available. Remastered by fine art printer, Simon Olding, exclusively for Wild Island Tasmania.
