Abstract

Our expedition had three objectives: to land on a volcanic plug of rock called Dent Island located in the heaving seas of the subantarctic, to find and catch four pairs of Campbell Island Flightless Teal (assuming they were not already extinct), and to keep the birds alive and healthy until a ship could bring the party back to New Zealand within six weeks. Most objectives were achieved.
