The islands are almost equidistant to both Babuyan Island, Cagayan, which lies about {{convert|29|mi}} to the southwest, and Sabtang Island, Batanes, located {{convert|28|mi}} to the northwest.{{#tag:ref|Websites for both Cagayan and Batanes provinces do not indicate who has jurisdiction of these islands. Distances were measured using Google Earth.|group=note}} The group is composed of seven small, sharp-peaked islets and rocks visible about {{convert|24|mi}} in clear weather.[2][1][2] IslandsThe westernmost island, Balintang Island, is the largest with about {{convert|3/4|mi}} in length in a north and south direction. It is much larger than the others with three peaks, the tallest of which is about {{convert|110|m|disp=flip}};[3] a hole is seen through it from southwestward. Three of the other islets lies east, about {{convert|1|mi}} off its northern point. The other three, about {{convert|75|ft}} high, lies about {{convert|1/2|mi}} off its southeast side. In bad weather, the sea breaks heavily against them. For mariners, they are steep-to and may be passed on either side at a distance of {{convert|2|to|3|mi}}.[4] See also
