Rerewhakaupoko / Solomon Island – 1931 and 2012 – In the footsteps of Edgar Stead (Part 5)

Putauhinu

Putauhinu Island viewed from the southwest point of Solomon Island in 1931 (above, image by Edgar Stead, Canterbury Museum 2010.75.148) and 2012 (below, image by Colin Miskelly, Te Papa). The third skua in Stead's image was standing on a rock slab that has since tipped over, changing the profile of the rock outcrop.
