Chatham Iceland was renamed after the surveying vessel HMS Chatham, which was the first vessel in Europe to discover the Iceland in 1791[2] and has an area of 920 km2 [3]. Chatham Iceland is located 650 km southeast of Cape Turnagain, the closest point on New Zealand's continental shelf.
There are three characteristics that dominate the geographical shape of the T-shaped island: two coves and a lake. Over half of the western shore of Chatham is occupied by the shallow inlet of Petre Bay. Waitangi Island's principal town is situated in a small bay on the south shore of Petre Bay.
The only known spawning population of the indigenous and threatened with extinction magenta raptor and the threatened Black Robin are found on Chatham Island.
