[00:09.43]And it's not just love that's in the air...
[00:09.43]And it's not just love that's in the air.
[00:12.75]At these southerly latitudes
[00:14.37]ocean winds bring rain six-and-a-half days out of seven.
[00:18.44]And when it doesn't rain,it snows.
[00:24.03]It couldn't be more different
[00:25.79]from the cliched image of a South Pacific island.
[00:29.30]But surprisingly, what makes Macquarie so rich in wildlife
[00:33.23]also benefits other islands in the tropical South Pacific
[00:36.98]thousands of miles away.
[00:42.09]Macquarie's penguins and seals depend on a cold
[00:45.69]nutrient-rich current and that doesn't stop here.
[00:52.99]Powered by the strongest winds in the world
[00:56.19]the current continues east until it hits the tip of South America
[01:00.00]where it's driven northwards.
[01:09.15]Over 8,000 miles later
[01:12.02]the cold current reaches the equator
[01:14.22]and a remote archipelago.
[01:23.89]The water has warmed up on the journey north
[01:27.19]but it's still cold and nutrient rich.
[01:31.92]This has allowed some animals to live here
[01:34.31]which you wouldn't normally find this close to the equator.
