		The Kermadec Islands, lying some 1000 kilometres northeast of New Zealand, are one of the most remote conservation areas managed by the Department of Conservation.
		They are a chain of islands extending some 130 kilometres along the western ridge of the Kermadec Trench, and consist of four groups of islands and rocks.
		The islands are the summits of young, steep-sided volcanoes, which rise some 8000 metres from the sea floor.

	Kermadec Marine Reserve
		The Kermadec Islands, located about 1000 km north-east of New Zealand, are some of the most interesting places on this planet, mainly because of their isolation and because the world has very few island groups in the subtropical south.
		When left alone, and once the islands have been rid of cats and rats, the chance is high that bird life will return, and ultimately the state of the environment to what it once was, one of the last pristine and undisturbed places on Earth.

		Although the islands were spread out over 142 miles of ocean from 29°10' to 31°30' south and from 171°45' to 179° west, d'Entrecastreux considered them as one group, which he named the "Kermadec Islands" after his second in command.
		The Kermadec Islands were the end of the line for one of the greatest heroes of World War I. Count Felix von Luckner "was one of those rare men who neither feared nor hated, who by nature made friends of his enemies." (Hoyt, p.

		The indigenous vegetation of the Kermadecs Islands reflects processes of adaptive evolution arising from isolation, periodic volcanic activity, and human intervention and settlement.
		Despite the distance of the islands from the mainland, the affinities of the flora are overwhelmingly with New Zealand, with over one hundred plants and ferns being common to both areas.
		The Kermadecs were annexed by New Zealand in 1887, and the last settlers left Raoul in 1937 when a Government party arrived to establish the radio and meteorological station on the island.

	Kemadecs
		This booklet is concerned with volcanic hazards which may arise in the event of eruptions of volcanoes in the Kermadec Islands, at a submarine volcano midway between the Kermadecs and Tonga, and at several submarine volcanoes between the Kermadecs and the North Island of New Zealand.
		Nevertheless, the island was evacuated shortly afterwards as a precautionary measure because of uncertainty about the possibility of continuing activity, recognition at this time that there had been eruption of extreme violence in the past, and the inevitable delays in help arriving from New Zealand, should this become necessary.
		The islands are the eroded peaks of a volcano at the summit of a broad topographic rise, measuring about 25 km by 15 km, on the crest of the Kermadec Ridge.

		New Zealand has a number of remote island territories from the subantarctic islands of the ferocious Southern Ocean to the Chatham Islands to the east but it is the Kermadec Islands, far to the north east, that probably hold the most appeal for the adventurous New Zealand diver.
		Lying approximately 1000 km from the New Zealand mainland, the Kermadec Islands comprise a group of volcanic rocks and islets separated by almost 250 km.
		Because of their remoteness, these subtropical island jewels are seldom visited but with their remote location brings a promise to fascinate all who make the effort to visit them.

	Kermadec Islands - fishes
		The fishes of the Kermadec islands comprise a mix of species from the tropics (north), the temperates (south), the subtropics (west: Norfolk, Australia; east: Rapa and Easter Island), and endemic species (Kermadecs).
		Because of ocean currents, the small size of the islands and the large ocean around, recruitment is uncertain and sporadic.
		The Kermadecs are not a place to find fast growing fish such as dense schools of sardines, jack mackerels and other silver fish, and their predators.

		The latter is often a little ironically referred to as the "mainland", especially by its residents, it being only a little larger but having a lower population.
		Stewart Island/Rakiura is by far the biggest of the smaller islands, although Waiheke Island has the third-largest population.

		Anvil-shaped Raoul Island, the largest and northernmost of the Kermadec Islands, has been the source of vigorous eruptive activity during the past several thousand years that was dominated by dacitic explosive eruptions.
		Two small Holocene calderas are found on the island, one at Denham Bay on its west side.
		Historical eruptions during the 19th and 20th centuries have occurred simultaneously from both calderas, and have consisted of small-to-moderate phreatic eruptions, some of which formed ephemeral islands in Denham Bay.
