Slope Point is the southernmost tip of New Zealand’s South Island – an exposed headland where the vast circumpolar airstream traverses the Southern Ocean unobstructed for 2000 miles before slamming into the land with such violent persistence that the trees are warped and twisted into grotesque and occasionally beautiful shapes.

Minister for Communications Pat Rabbitte yesterday delivered more good news for Ireland with the announcement that some of the largest wind turbines in the world may be built across the midlands.
