The Chatham Islands flag (Maori: Kara o Wharekauri) consists of a green silhouette of the island over a rising sun on a blue background. The whiteness on the island shows the Te Whanga Lagoon lake. The flag symbolizes their agricultural activities on the islands and their geographical position among the first islands to see the new sunrise on the International Date Line. The height-to-width ratio of the flag is 2:3, and the flag was designed in 1986.
The Chatham Islands are an archipelago of 10 islands in New Zealand located in the south of the Pacific Ocean. It has no capital, and its population is about 800 (2022) people.
