On 4 January 1810, Campbell Island was discovered by Captain Frederick Hasselburg - he named it after the owner of his sealing company. The island is volcanic, making the weather on it cold, wet and windy - it is, however, unglaciated. Campbell Island lies roughly 700 km south of New Zealand, and has an area of 114 sq km. Campbell Island has the world's largest population of Royal Albatrosses.
