Artist's Description
I was'on the expedition cruise ship World Discoverer as the ship�s artist, when I had the opportunity to visit Malden. This very remote, low, flat, barren island in the Central Pacific is part of the Republic of Kiribati. What is of special interest on this island is this marae, an ancient Polynesian ceremonial site.
Australia mined phosphate on Malden from 1860-1927, and Britain tested H-bombs in the area, which would have further reduced the already sparse vegetation.
Today, Malden is a refuge for hearty seabirds and lots of hermit crabs, and this marae is a melancholy record of ancient seafaring people, Polynesians, who once tried to live here. The orange patch in the background is Malden's very salty lagoon.
