New Zealand
New Zealand is an island nation that is located on 2 large islands: the Southern and Northern, and about 700 small islands. The country is geographically isolated from everyone. Australia is 1,700 km away, and New Caledonia is 1,450 km away. The country's population is 5.1 million people.
The climate varies from subtropical in the north of the country to cool temperate in the south. The southern Alps block the westerly winds and divide New Zealand into 2 parts. Because of this, it often rains in the western part of the country.
New Zealand used to have many glaciers that left behind fords and gorges. The remains of glaciers can be seen in the Te Wahipunamu World Heritage Area, which combines the Fiordland Nature Reserve, Westland, Mount Cook and Mount Aspiring National Parks. You will love this place for its alpine forests, subtropical forests and, of course, glaciers.
