Stereo recording of Hooker's Sea Lions (Phocarctos hookeri) playing in a cove of Snares Island (48°0366 S, 166.5500 E, 27 Feb. 2005, morning).

One Sea Lion is swimming in the front, a second one is roaring in a remote sea cave.
Silver Gulls and Sub-Antarctic terns are flying around. Not far away, there is a small but noisy Snare’s penguins colony.

Snares islands became UNESCO World Heritage in 1998
