Laika or Laïka is a small uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean, a part of the Shepherd Islands archipelago in the Shefa Province of Vanuatu.[1][2]

Geography

Laika is located 7.4 km (4.6 mi) north of the island of Tongoa and 2.6 km (1.6 mi) south-east of the islet of Tefala. Laika and the other islands scattered around Tongoa were once part of a larger land mass, formed by the eruptions of the Kuwae submarine volcano,[3][4] which exploded around 1475.[5] Laika has an area of about one km2 (0.39 sq mi).
