context_page_description: The Cabras Islets or Cabras Islet is an uninhabited dual islet located along the southern coast of the island of Terceira in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. The group, with a total area of 29 hectares and perimeter of 3,239 metres, is the largest islet in the Azores. Locals normally refer to it as a single islet, but it comprises two landforms: the Ilhéu Pequeno and the Ilhéu Grande.
context_section_description: The islets are located on the southeast coast of Terceira, east of Angra do Heroísmo, and politically part of the civil parish of Porto Judeu. They are volcanic islets, the remains of a cinder cone eroded by the sea and fortified by tectonic palagonite forces.
  The remains of the symmetrical cone of the submarine volcano which originated the islets inspired Vitorino Nemésio to characterize the islets as "broken in half, as if badly formed".
