Introduction
Codes of Survival is a project by Lloyd Godman based on New Zealand's subantarctic islands and in particular the Auckland Islands. These islands lie in the great southern ocean between New Zealand and the Antarctic continent, in the wild ocean  waters swept by  constant winds  and squalls. 

At the southern end of the Islands is Adams Island. This is regarded as the largest island in the world with no introduced species. On the South west tip is Fairchild's Garden which is a unique natural garden of subantarctic mega-herbs. Between Adams Island and the Min Auckland Island is Victoria Passage which can be a difficult stretch of water to navigate.
