The Saint Peter and Saint Paul Islets 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.
