Beschrijving
New Island is one of the Falkland Islands, lying north of Beaver Island. It is 13 km long with an average width of 750 m. New Island is a Nature Reserve set up by Ian Strange in 1972 and has a range of interesting flora and fauna as well as a museum. The New Island group has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA). A Southern Rockhopper Penguin colony (ca. 13,000 pairs) can be observed from above. Other birds for which the site is of conservation significance include Falkland steamer ducks, ruddy-headed geese, gentoo penguins, Magellanic penguins, black-browed albatrosses (ca. 29,000 pairs), slender-billed prions, white-chinned petrels, imperial cormorants, striated caracaras, white-bridled finches, blackish cinclodes and Cobb's wrens.
