Zealandia Bank, also known as Farallon de Torres or Piedras de Torres in Spanish, or Papaungan in Chamorro, consists of two rocky pinnacles about 1.5 kilometers apart, in the Northern Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
One reaches a height of approximately 1 meter (3.3 ft) at low tide; the other does not normally broach the surface.
[1] Zealandia Bank is the exposed portion of the peak of an eroded underwater volcano.
