Duff Islands is a small island group located 100 miles northeast of Santa Cruz Island in the eastern Solomon Islands in the southwest Pacific Ocean. The islands cover an area of about 5 square miles and have a population of approximately 500. The group consists of 11 islands: Elingi, Kaa, Lakao, Loreva, Lua, Tahua, Taumako, Te Ako, Tohua, Tuleki, and Ulaka. Taumako Island is the largest in the group. The map shows profile views of the larger islands at top and bottom. This map was drawn during the first British missionary voyage to the South Pacific.
