It lies at the entrance to Chalky Inlet/Taiari, next to Preservation Inlet, at the southwestern tip of the South Island, {{convert|10|km|0}} northwest of Puysegur Point, {{convert|15|km|0}} southeast of West Cape, and {{convert|140|km|0}} west of Invercargill. The island was known to Māori as te kākahu-o-Tamatea (the cloak of Tamatea), as according to oral tradition it was the place where the explorer Tamatea spread his cloak out to dry after being drenched by the sea.[1] It was first charted by Captain James Cook in 1773, and was a base for sealers in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In 1999 Chalky Island became the first nearshore island from which stoats were successfully eradicated by the New Zealand Department of Conservation, and it is now free of mammalian predators and is used as a bird sanctuary.[2] Until 2005 it was one of only four refuges of the only flightless native parrot, the critically endangered kākāpō, and is still a kākāpō refuge.[3] Other threatened endemic birds transferred to the island since the eradication of stoats include tieke (saddleback), mōhua (yellowhead), little spotted kiwi, and orange-fronted kakariki.[4] The Te Kakahu skink is endemic to the island.[5] Dolphins, orcas, and southern right whales[6] are sometimes seen in the bay.
