Banks Peninsula is in the Canterbury region on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand, partly surrounded by the Pacific Ocean.
The peninsula has a land area of approximately 1,000 km². Banks Peninsula forms the most prominent volcanic feature of the South Island. Geologically, the peninsula comprises the eroded remnants of two large shield volcanoes.
When Captain Cook first mapped this area of New Zealand, he thought that it was an island. He named it after a naturalist on board the HMS Endeavour
