Übersichtskarte zur Lage der Solander Islands.

Die Solanderinseln gehören zu Neuseeland (zum Southland-Distrikt) und sind der Südinsel vorgelagert. Die unbewohnten Inseln sind 0,7 km² groß.

Am 11. März 1770 entdeckte James Cook auf seiner Endeavour die Inseln und benannte sie nach dem auf dieser Fahrt mitreisenden schwedischen Botaniker Daniel Solander.
