NATURE
New Zealand consists of 30% forest, 15% farming and 50% of meadows and pastures! In the North there are most dairy farming and on the South island there are gold mines but 19000 of those are exhausted. Around the two bigger island there is a lot of smaller islands. In the South island (the biggest) only 1/4 of the people lives there. I don't know why it is like that but I think it's because on the South island there is the Southern Alps, so it's very rocky and hard to live on. NZ has a beautiful nature that reminds you of the famous movie “Jurassic Park” with big trees and ferns.
NZ has a lot of vulcanos that is both active and not. In only one (!) year they have 14000 earthquakes. That is a huge amount! NZ has also a lot of mountains, Mt. Cook (or Aoraki in maori) is one, it’s 3 745m high. This mountain is a great attraction if you're a tourist, and even for the people who lives there. In NZ they also have Hot water beach. It's a beach where you can dig a hole in the sand and it will fill up with really hot water. This is also a great tourist attraction and a really special thing that you probably only experience once in a life time.
