New Zealand
New Zealand is a South Pacific country located midway between the Equator and the South Pole, and approximately 1600 kilometers east of Australia. Its nearest neighbours to the north are New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga, all about the same distance away as Australia.
With a land area of 268,105 square kilometers, New Zealand is similar in size to Japan, Britain or Italy, and extends over a similar range of latitudes to California. There are two main islands, the North and South Islands, separated by Cook Strait, some 32 kilometers across its narrowest point. The country is 1600 kilometers from northern tip to southern extremity, with no part more than 120 kilometers from the surrounding ocean.
The landscape is notable for its variety and particularly its mountainous nature. The spectacular Southern Alps of the South Island, which rise amid permanent snowfields and many glaciers, include 19 peaks exceeding 3000 meters. A special feature of the North Island is the central volcanic region with three still active volcanic peaks and thermal activity featuring hot spring, geysers and boiling mud pools. Both major islands contain fertile low-land areas of pastoral land, large forests (natural and man-made), many sandy beaches and short, swift flowing rivers. These provide a valuable source of hydro-electric power.
Numerous lakes exist in both islands, with the larger North Island lakes situated on the volcanic central plateau and the major South Island lakes set in beautiful mountain scenery. On the south-west coast of the South Island high mountain ranges meet the ocean in a series of dramatic fiords.
Lying within the South Temperature Zone, New Zealand has an oceanic climate, without extremes of heat or cold. Most parts of the country enjoy ample sunshine and rainfall, although the weather is rather changeable. Seasons are reverse of the Northern Hemisphere, with temperatures generally higher in the north of the country, which experiences sub-tropical warmth in summer. Winter brings extensive snow falls in the Southern Alps.
