Rennell and Bellona, Administrative province in Solomon Islands.

Rennell and Bellona Province consists of two inhabited atolls and the Indispensable Reef, located in the southern region of Solomon Islands.

The British ship Bellona discovered these islands in 1793, leading to the naming of Bellona Island and subsequent European documentation of the area.

The province represents a distinct Polynesian settlement within the Melanesian Solomon Islands, with inhabitants speaking Rennellese, a Polynesian language from the Futunic subdivision.

Solomon Airlines operates flights twice weekly from Honiara to Tigoa, while transportation within the islands relies on boats and limited vehicle access.

Lake Tengano, situated on Rennell Island, stands as the largest brackish water lake in the South Pacific, containing submerged World War II aircraft remains.
