New Zealand is situated in the South Pacific Ocean . The country runs roughly north-south with mountain ranges down much of its length. There are two main islands, the North Island and the South Island, with a third smaller island in the south.
New Zealand is in the Pacific Rim of Fire.It has an unique landscape and an unrivalled variety of landforms:snow-topped mountain ranges,sandy beaches, lush rainforests, glaciers and fiords, and active volcanoes.
It is an uncrowded country. It has a diverse multi-cultural population of just 4 million people and a rich history. Maori were New Zealand’s first settlers, arriving here about 1,000 years ago. It was first discovered by Europeans in 1642 but it wasn’t until 1769 that it was colonised and claimed by Britain. In 1840,this country was considered a nation.
