Nugent Island
Nugent Island is the most northerly island in the Kermadec Islands and the most northerly part of New Zealand. It is one of a group of islands to the north-east of Raoul Island. It is roughly circular and approximately 100 metres (330 ft) across, with a highest point of 66 m.[1] The island has never been modified by introduced mammals, and so has retained its original bird populations.[2] It forms part of the Kermadec Islands Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because it is an important site for nesting seabirds.[3]
