Sheet of 20 x $4.90 Moutere Hauriri/Bounty Islands Marine Reserve stamps
Sitting 670 km east-south-east of the South Island, rocks of the Moutere Hauriri/ Bounty Islands are some of the most densely populated in the Southern Ocean. The crystal-clear surrounding waters are also teeming with life, with underwater species diversity and density comparable to areas in the tropical and north pacific like the Galapagos Islands.
