The Solander Islands/Hautere are a small chain of uninhabited volcanic islets lying at , close to the western end of the Foveaux Strait in southern New Zealand. They lie some south of Prices Point on the southern coast of South Island, New Zealand, close where Lake Hakapoua drains through Big River to the Pacific Ocean due west of Te Waewae Bay, and WNW of the Putatara (Rugged) Point in the northwest of Stewart Island/Rakiura, or from Codfish Island west of Stewart Island/Rakiura. They measure about in area. Administratively, they are part of Southland District. ==History== The island chain was sighted by Captain James Cook on 11 March 1770 and named by him for the Swedish naturalist Dr Daniel Solander, one of the scientific crew aboard Cook's expedition's ship ''Endeavour''. The Maori name ''Hautere'' translates into English as "flying wind", an apt description of the islands' weather. The islands have only ever been briefly inhabited, and then only due to shipwreck or other marooning. Five Europeans were marooned there between 1808 and 1813, the longest continual period of habitation for the island group.
