Description
Ulva Island is located inside Paterson Inlet of Stewart Island, the southern third island in the New Zealand archipelago. It is believed to have been named by the early Scottish settlers after their namesake Isle of Ulva near the Isle of Iona and beside Mull in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland. Ulva Island is universally renowned for the endemic, native birds and plants that constantly fascinate visitors to this little southern bird sanctuary.
