New Zealand Holidays
New Zealand holidays. Why not have a vacation in the super tourist destination of New Zealand. It can be an awesome place to have a vacation. You may want to visit a hotel, or a villa or house. You may want to see the beaches, the historic sites, the entertainment and sports venues.
New Zealand comprises
two main islands (called the North and South Islands in English, Te Ika a Maui
and Te Wai Pounamu in Ma-ori) and a number of smaller islands located near the
centre of the water hemisphere. Cook Strait separates the North and South Islands,
20 km wide at its narrowest point. The total land area, 268,680 square kilometres
, is a little less than that of Italy and Japan, and a little more than the United
Kingdom. The country extends more than 1,600 kilometres along its main, north-north-east
axis, with approximately 15,134 km of coastline. The most significant of the smaller
inhabited islands include Stewart Island/Rakiura; Waiheke Island, in Auckland's
Hauraki Gulf; Great Barrier Island, east of the Hauraki Gulf; and the Chatham
Islands, named Re-kohu by Moriori. The country has extensive marine resources,
with the seventh-largest Exclusive Economic Zone in the world, covering over four
million square kilometres, more than 15 times its land area.
The South Island is the largest land mass of New Zealand, and is divided along its length by the Southern Alps, the highest peak of which is Aoraki/Mount Cook at 3754 metres. There are 18 peaks over 3,000 metres in the South Island. The North Island is less mountainous than the South, but is marked by volcanism. The highest North Island mountain, Mount Ruapehu (2,797 m), is an active cone volcano. The dramatic and varied landscape of New Zealand has made it a popular location for the production of television programmes and films, including the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the The Last Samurai.
The country owes its varied topography, and perhaps
even its emergence above the waves, to the dynamic boundary it straddles between
the Pacific and Indo-Australian Plates. New Zealand is part of Zealandia, a continent
nearly half the size of Australia that is otherwise almost completely submerged.
About 25 million years ago, a shift in plate tectonic movements began to pull
Zealandia apart forcefully, with this now being most evident along the Alpine
Fault and in the highly active Taupo volcanic zone.
New Zealand is culturally and linguistically part of Polynesia, and constitutes the south-western anchor of the Polynesian Triangle.
Milford Sound (Piopiotahi in Ma-ori) is a fiord in the south west of New Zealand's South Island, within Fiordland National Park and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site. It has been judged the world's top travel destination in an international survey, and is acclaimed as New Zealand's own most famous tourist destination.
