Covering 180 km², Te Whanga Lagoon dominates the geography of Chatham Island, in the South Pacific Ocean off New Zealand's east coast.
It is the outflow of several small rivers in the island's hilly south, and drains to the Pacific via gaps in Hanson Bay on the island's east coast.
It contains many fossilized sharks' teeth that can be collected from the edges of the lagoon.
