Geographica insulae solitudo et historia minimae turbationis humanae multum creavit endemismi inter suam floram et faunam—res quae se biologis et naturalistis magnopere commendat.[1] Circa 63 centesimae terrae insularis sunt Australiae patrium vivarium (Anglice, Australian national park); adsunt praeterea magnae regiones primariae silvae pluvialis. Phosphas, ut corpora mortuorum organismorummarinorum (non guanum, ut multi olim putabant) primum depositum, ex insula multos annos exfossum est.
Primus conatus ad insulam explorandam anno 1857 a nautis ex navi Amethyst egressis factus est, qui summam insulam attingere conati sunt, sed rupes eis erant insuperabiles.
Cancri terrestres et aves marinae sunt insignissima insulae animalia. Viginti describuntur cancri species terrestres et inter aestus viventes, quarum tredecim habentur veri cancri terrestres, qui in mare confidunt solum pro evolutione larvarum. Permulti Birgi latrones in insula habitant.
