Adams Island is separated from Lord Auckland Island by Carnley Harbour, 
the site of an old volcano. It is a fairly even ridge, 600 m high, with a long 
slope northwards, but on the S. descending to the sea in a sheer precipice. 
ord Auckland Island is also high and rises, in more than one place 
to 600 m. Several arms from Carnley Harbour pierce it in the S. On the E. 
are a number of small fiords the result of ice-action, but on the W. there is I 
a perpendicular wall of stupendous clifts. 
The islands in the N. are separated from Lord Auckland Island by Port 
Ross, a land-locked sheet of water. They are quite low but their coasts are 
rocky. On Enderby Island there is a sandy beach, 8 km long backed by 
low dunes. 
Disappointment Island, some hundreds of metres hish with cliffs on all 
sides is about 3 km in kensch, 
Rivers of considerable size for so small a land-area fill the valleys of the 
two larger islands.. The watershed of Lord Auckland Island is close to the 
summit of the western clifis. There are one or two small mountain lakes. 
Besides volcanic rocks there is an outcrop of granite and gabbro at 
Carnley Harbour. 
There is abundant evidence of glacial action, but according to SPEIGHT') 
it is improbable that the islands have been completely covered by ice. 
Ä 4. The Campbell Islands. 
There is a main island, Campbell Island 48 km in circumference, but the 
other members of the group are mere rocks. The northern end of the island 
rises as a whole to about 300 m, but in the S. there are a number of 
isolated peaks, the highest about 400—500 m. Two long inlets pierce the land. 
on the 
° The rocks are in part aha and in part limestone containing fossils. 
According to MARSHALL‘) the surface-features are due to glacial action, but 
there is no evidence that the island was covered by an ice-sheet. 
5. Macquarie Island. Er 
Aecording to SCOTT (1883: 486), Macquarie Island is exceedinely hilly, 
the hills rising to perhaps 280 m, while numerous tarns lie amongst their 
hollows. The coast-line consists Deinchäälle of cliffs with a few shingle beaches. 
Possibly the island is 30 km long. The rocks, so far as known, are volcanic.
