The Saint Peter and Saint Paul Islets (Google Maps link to their position) cover an area of only 0.016 km² and are unique in that they do not consist of volcanic rocks like other oceanic islands. Located in a mid-ocean submarine mountain chain, they were formed by geologic uplift and are one of the few locations on Earth where an underwater oceanic ridge is exposed above sea level.
They are also the only group of Brazilian oceanic islands in the Northern Hemisphere.
