The only living things that can prosper on Antipodes Island are the endangered Erect-crested Penguins, as the rest of the island is inhospitable. Volcanic terrain prohibits the island from being publicly entered but several different species of birds can be viewed clearly from afar. Antipodes and the surrounding islands are a protected nature reserve and are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
