Gough Island greeted me with its rugged cliffs and chilly winds. I observed numerous species that are exclusive to the island, such as the Gough Bunting, and Gough Moorhen. The island is also home to the highest concentration of Tristan albatrosses. However, it was saddening to see that invasive species, such as mice and rats, have caused damage to the island's ecosystem.
