There are also a large number of rivers, most of which are short and swift. Lakes also abound in the North Island, the reason for their formation has to do with volcanoes.The South Island: the largest of all the islands of New Zealand, but it’s not densely populated as the North Island. The South Island is famous for its more than 260 glaciers and the glacial activities in the Southern Apls has resulted in the formation of many lakes.What are the most striking features of New Zealand’ climate?New Zealand has mild temperatures, moderately high rainfall, and many hours of sunshine throughout most of the country.

This was demonstrated in the proclamation of Queen Elizabeth II’s new titles in1953, where she was to be called Queen “of her Realms and Territories”, thereby replacing “dominion” with another mediaeval French word with the same connotation, “realm”(from royaume). Today, the former Dominions of the Empire(including the UK) are known as Realms of the Commonwealth.What does ‘ANZAC’ mean?

《英语国家概况》- Chapter 33 the Making of New Zealand
第三十三章地理和历史新西兰位于南太平洋，在赤道和南极之间的中点上。
从新西兰西北1500公里，跨过塔斯曼海，是澳大利亚。
东面是10600公里宽的太平洋，把新西兰同南美分隔开。
冰封的南极大陆位于新西兰以南2300公里处。
首都惠灵顿的纬度为南纬40°;中国首都北京的纬度为北纬40°。
新西兰的面积与英国或日本相近。
它有两大主要岛屿:北岛，114，500平方公里，南岛，150，700平方公里。
位居第三的是1750平方公里的斯图尔特岛，这是个小岛，位于南岛南部。
北岛和南岛都是狭长形的;从最北端的瑞格角到位于南岛最南端的布拉夫是1770公里。
由于整个国家非常狭窄，所以新西兰的任何地方距海都不超过110公里。
新西兰正好位于国际日期变更线以西的第一个时区，所以它是第一个迎接新一天的国家。
新西兰只有一个时区。
Ⅰ.地形当第一个到新西兰的欧洲人看到南岛的山脉时，他写道:"这是一片高高升起的土地。
"事实上，新西兰3/4的陆地海拔200多米，且多数为丘陵。
然而，在两个岛屿上都有平原。
南岛的东海岸、坎特伯雷区和南部区，都有大片平原。
在北岛的惠灵顿之西北的马那瓦图、奥克兰以南的怀卡托及塔腊纳基区的南部，都有富饶的草场平原。
新西兰全境多山。
一连串的山脉几乎绵亘了整个南岛，最高峰为库克山，高3764米，位于被称为南阿尔卑斯山脉的中部。
山脉把南岛分成东、西两块区域，并且只有四条山谷通道连接东西两区。
南岛西南部，有壮观的冰川，即大片的封冻冰河;南岛北部有马尔巴勒峡湾;在南岛的西南部有米尔福德峡湾。
在新西兰北岛的中央高原矗立着三座火山:高2797米的鲁阿佩胡火山和高2290米的纽鲁霍伊火山都是活火山，偶尔有气体和火山灰喷出。
最后一次导致死亡的火山活动是在1953年，但1995年鲁阿佩胡曾又一次爆发。
第二大火山，汤加里多火山，是死火山。
它已经很长时间没有显示出任何火山活动了。
北岛的中心地带的罗托鲁阿地区和陶泼地区周围，是一个火山地热区，这里有沸腾的泥水池，蒸气不断地从地面的裂隙中逸出，间歇喷泉周期性地把热水喷到空中，还有持续不断地硫磺味。
