The Solander Islands are a small chain of uninhabited volcanic islets close to the western end of the Foveaux Strait in southern New Zealand.
The islands are remnants of an isolated extinct Pleistocene volcano with andesite rocks one to two million years old.
The Solander Islands are the only New Zealand volcanic land features related to the subduction of the Australian Plate beneath the Pacific Plate.
