Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai Images & Video

Hiking the Chatham Islands

We're just back from a mini expedition to the Chatham Islands (including Pitt Island), located 800 kilometres east of the South Island of New Zealand. It's about as close as we can get to an "overseas" expedition right now. The islands do feel distinctively different ...
