Answer:

The Antipode Islands are a group of inhospitable volcanic islands south of New Zealand, 650 kilometers southeast of Stewart Island. They lie within the belt of the subantarctic islands between the 46 ° and 60 ° south latitude.

The group consists of the main island (Antipodes Island, 60 km²), Bollons Island (2 km²) north of the main island and several small islands. The highest point is Mount Galloway (402 m). The island consists of basalt that was formed less than a million years ago. Volcanic eruptions have occurred up to 10,000 years ago.
