Physical Features of New Zealand

Mountains. As a rule the land-surface is much broken, hilly, and in parts mountainous.

Plains. An extensive plain of marine origin, the Wanganui, lies between the Ruahine Mountains and Mount Egmont extending to Ruapehu where it is over 600 m.

Rivers.

Lakes.

Sea-coast.

The North Island of New Zealand has a 'spine' of mountain ranges running through the middle, with gentle rolling farmland on both sides. The central North Island is dominated by the Volcanic Plateau, an active volcanic and thermal area. The massive Southern Alps form the backbone of the South Island.

New Zealand is famous the world over for its incredible scenery, ranging from sweeping mountains to vast underground cave systems, gigantic glaciers to boiling hot springs, golden-sand beaches to rugged coastline. It's also packed with cool cities, hidden spots, wonderful wildlife, and more.
