We are heading north towards the Sub-Antarctic Islands, with hopefully a Macquarie and Snares Zodiac tours / landing.

Days at sea means lectures, with an informative one about shipwrecks in the southern ocean, how appropriate ! by Mark this morning. In the afternoon Sabrina presented one about the mystery of the megaherbs.

It was extremely well presented and researched. She could have taught some of my old Botany professors a lesson or to !

A range of Mega Herbs we are likely to see

Divided into sections her lecture covered historical, identification and the future of this topic.

Even Hooker was impressed by them
As usual Darwin was way ahead of his time

Suffice to say I should now be able to identify them, so long as the conditions are better than what we encountered at Enderby Island on the way down .
