EW ZEALAND
consists of two main islands, North Island and South Island, and several small islands, surrounded by the South Pacific Ocean. Both the main islands are mountainous. South Island has the Southern Alps running from top to bottom. It also has many glaciers and rivers. North Island is more heavily populated. As well as mountains, it has volcanoes, hissing geysers, boiling mud and hot springs. Both islands have forests, deep, clear lakes and long, deserted beaches. The main cities are Wellington, Auckland (both on the North Island) and Christchurch (South Island). The vast areas of dramatic countryside have made New Zealand a perfect location for films such as Lord of the Rings and Prince Caspian. Its natural features also make New Zealand an ideal place for outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, skiing, canoeing, kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing, caving, windsurfing, white water rafting, kite boarding, paragliding, ski diving, and bungee jumping. New Zealand is famous for its national rugby team, called the All Blacks because they wear black shirts and black shorts. The players perform a ‘haka’ before each game. It’s an ancient Maori war dance and its purpose is to make the players feel strong and to ‘psyche out’ the opposing team.

The kiwi and the tuatara are two animal species that are only found in New Zealand. The kiwi is a small black bird which can’t fly. (There were two airlines that started with the name ‘Kiwi Airlines’ in the 1990s. They both went bankrupt after a few years!) The tuatara is the most ancient of all living reptiles. It’s 200 million years old – even older than the dinosaurs. New Zealand people are called New Zealanders. They’re nicknamed ‘kiwis’, like the bird, which is the country’s unofficial symbol. New Zealanders are known for being easy-going, friendly and egalitarian. And New Zealand is one of the few countries where the police don’t carry guns.
