Ross Island Flag

Ross Island Flag

The Ross Island Flag is based upon the birthplace of its discoverer - Sir James Clark Ross. He was born in London on the zero year of the 19th century. Ross discovered this island in 1841, and it was subsequently named after him.

The flag is basically a Scandinavian version of the flag of London but with a black fimbration around the cross.

Snares Islands Flag - New Zealand

Flag of Snares Island

The Snares Islands are approximately 200 km south of South Island New Zealand. It is home to a healthy population of penguins.



The colours of the flag are based on the colours on the snare penguin - black, white, orange, and red. Also the red star with a white fimbration is modeled of after the national stars from the current national flag.

Bounty Islands Flag for New Zealand

Flag of the Bounty Islands


Not to be confused with Bounty Island, the Bounty Islands belong to New Zealand and consist of 13 main islets in the South Pacific.

Thus accordingly this flag has 13 stripes. There are three large red stripes, four large blue stripes and six thin white stripes. The white stripes are actually fimbrations around the red stripes. This is done in conjunction with the Red New Zealand stars that have a white fimbriation.


The 13 islands are
(1) Depot Island
(2) Lion Island
(3) Penguin Island
(4) Proclamation Island
(5) Ranfurly Island
(6) Ruatara Island
(7) Spider Island
(8) Tunnel Island
(9) Castle Island
(10) Funnel Island
(11) Prion Island
(12) Molly Cap
(13) North Rock

These islands are also antipodes to Europe, at Boulle-Mernard France. Another coincidence is that these islands were discovered the same year the United States become a legal nation under the Constitution in 1788. Thus the flag of the Bounty Island flag bears some resemblance to their up and over cousins to the north. The US Government is the same age as these thirteen magically shaped isles.
