Lord Howe Island,AustraliaAbout
The coral reefs at Lord Howe Island are the most southerly (31° 33′S) - and among the most spectacular - in the world. The island is located at the cross-roads of five major ocean currents, including the warm East Australian Current which runs down the Great Barrier Reef and down into the Tasman Sea. The island's unique marine ecosystem hosts a diverse mix of tropical, sub-tropical and temperate species which is found nowhere else on earth: there are over 90 species of coral and 500 species of fish inhabiting the reef. Lord Howe's underwater topography of trenches, caves and volcanic drop offs adds to the awe-inspiring diving experience at the island.
