| Welcome
to Henry's Raincoat!
Why Henry's
Raincoat? Macquarie Island is renown for its wet weather,
they say that it rains on Macca (Macquarie Island) 350 days
of the year, this is probably an exaggeration, however it
is a very wet and cold climate, and even though the actual
annual rainfall is not that significant, it is constantly
wet, drizzly, sleety, windy, and cold. Anyway, when my good
mate from Casey
2001, Critter
heard that I was going to Macca, he immediately said "you
gotta call your web site Henry's Raincoat after calling the
Casey web site Henry's
Igloo" - so here it is.
Macca
is an incredibly amazing place, from the geological formation
of the island, to the history of it's Sealing days and it's
Antarctic exploration history. The Island also serves as a
haven for Antarctic / Sub-Antarctic wildlife, and has been
listed as a World Heritage area for it's uniqueness and importance.
On the
following pages I hope to explore the History of the Island,
both natural and Human, and capture it's unique rugged beauty
as well as share the experiences and perspectives of myself
and fellow expeditioners on this 56th Australian National
Antarctic Research Expedition.
