I'm the king of the world! 💫

On a recent @visitlordhowe trip to Ball's Pyramid, snorkellers and free-divers got to mingle with the famous #LordHoweIsland Kingfish. Talk about becoming one with nature! 👑👑👑

Yesterday was such a beautiful day here on #LordHoweIsland as here beautifully captured by @karen.giles.lhi 🏖

Luckily, the tsunami warning last night came in as everyone had finished their lovely BBQs and picnics. The amazing LHI SES team made sure we were all safe and informed all night 📻🙌

The tsunami alert has now been downgraded to a Marine threat and we thank everyone for sending us thoughts and wishing us well 🤗

The ocean is still a bit dizzy after a big night but has already started to shimmer as always 🌺 Our thoughts are with Tonga and other islands affected by the impacts of the volcano eruption.

Is it possible to not put the world on pause when sharing a lagoon with these precious beings? 🤗

Sleepy seas 🌙

After a busy day cruising the crystal clear waters of #LordHoweIsland, the local boats settle for the night in their lagoon home to a golden sunset 🧡

Thanks to @catr13 for sharing these island sunset feels.

“So extraordinary it is almost unbelievable” 💙

#LordHoweIsland as described by @davidattenborough and here captured by @dyl.shaw is surrounded by healthy and colourful reefs. Can you guess where this secluded spot is?

Vibrant and wild 🏝️🏝️🏝️

Did you know that #LordHoweIsland is the eroded remnant of a large shield volcano that erupted from the top of the Lord Howe Rise around 7 million years ago.

Geologists believe that most of the volcanic activity took place some 6.9 million years ago, and probably comprised several volcanic vents, ultimately producing a large shield volcano about 30km in diameter characterised by gentle slopes of only about 8 degrees. It is thought that the volcano’s maximum height above sea level was about 1,000 metres.

Today, the island itself is dominated by the basalt peaks of Mt Lidgbird, 777m and Mt Gower, 875m, at the southern end of the island – virtually all that remains of 6.4 million-year-old lava flows that filled a large volcanic caldera ⛰️
