We had one short-tailed albatross there, George, at the time, I hear there is a mating pair now(?) I also took the picture linked below at Wikipedia of lava on Eastern Island. Do you know if this ancient lava, if I recall correctly, on the northeast shore area of Eastern Island, is still visible? It seemed quite a rare geological oddity considering the age of the 20 million year old atoll, it was shown to me by another officer. I'll check back on the blog if you reply.
