Landforms of aeolian, tectonic and marine origin in the Bauer Bay- Sandy Bay region of subantarctic Macquarie Island

Aeolian landforms on Macquarie Island, in the Southern Ocean, occur above 100 m on the plateau between Bauer Bay and Sandy Bay. Wind-polishing of bedrock occurs today near sea level at the head of Bauer Bay. The area is tectonically active. No evidence of former glacial activity was observed. Topogr...
