The archipelago of New Zealand consists of many islands, although the two major ones are the South Island and the North Island. The country is situated roughly nine hundred miles to the east of Australia and was only recently settled by people. This is one reason why the country still has so many pristine landscapes, why many of its natural treasures are still unpolluted; the other reason being New Zealand’s strict environmental laws, which have proven to be quite effective.
