Geology

The island of North Seymour was formed following the uplift of submarine lava formation and as such is fairly flat in gradient, with cliffs only rising to a few metres above the shoreline.  These cliffs are popular resting areas for swallow-tailed gulls which can often we seen perched on the cliff edge.  The island is carpeted by dense vegetation, including prickly pear cacti and salt bushes.  Palo santo trees can usually be seen at the landing site, but are often bare, waiting for rain to bring them into bloom.
