From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Macauley Island is a volcanic island in New Zealand's Kermadec Islands, approximately halfway between North Island of New Zealand and Tonga, in the south-west Pacific Ocean. It is part of a larger submarine volcano that features a 10.5-by-7-kilometre wide underwater caldera northwest of Macauley Island. Two islets, Haszard Island and Newcome Rock, lie east offshore of Macauley Island. The island is mostly surrounded by high cliffs that make it difficult to access; the inland parts are mostly gently sloping terrain covered with ferns and grasses.
