The Brothers form two small island groups, each containing one main island and a number of tiny islets. The main islands are simply called North Brother and South Brother. South Brother is the larger of the two, covering some {{convert|9.5|ha|acres}}, but the {{convert|4|ha|acres|adj=on}} North Brother is slightly more elevated, rising to {{convert|66|m|ft}},[1] and is topped by the Brothers Islands Lighthouse, built in 1877.[2] Most of the smaller islets lie in a small arc south of North Brother, with the largest being only some one hectare in area. The Māori name for the group, Ngāwhatu-kai-ponu literally means "the eyes that witnessed", and the islands are considered tapu to Māori.[2] North Brother Island is a sanctuary for the rare reptile species, the Brothers Island tuatara and is the type locality for a rare beetle, the Amychus granulatus, although it is possibly extinct there now.[3] See also
