Steven Gentry - The Kermadecs

The Kermadec Islands and the waters around them have been at the centre of a political storm these past few weeks with a proposed marine sanctuary put on hold by the National government after its coalition partner the Maori Party raised objections. They're some of New Zealand's most isolated islands and most of us know virtually nothing about them. Historian Steven Gentry is the exception. He's the author of Raoul and the Kermadecs: New Zealand's Northern Most Islands.
