… New Zealand is also called “Godzone”, “Pig Isles”, “Shaky Isles”, “Quaky Isles”, “Maoriland” and “Kiwiland”
The name “New Zealand” came from Dutch cartographers, who called the islands “Nova Zeelandia”, after the Dutch province of Zeeland. British explorer James Cook adapted the name to the English language and the name became New Zealand.
The geographical peculiarities
Though the country is so small there are so many beautiful things that attract attention - volcanoes, subtropical rainforests, geysers, fiords, beaches, glaciers and high mountain peaks.
New Zealand lies on the plates that make geological movements. Volcanic action still continues on the islands. Earthquakes are frequent here though they are not so damaging.
The North Island has a number of large active volcanoes, among them is Ruapehu. The last eruptions were here in 1995 and 1996.
Flora in New Zealand is very rich. There are about 2,000 species where 1,500 are endemic (which are only found in this country). It also has some of the oldest trees.
Fauna in this country is also special. Long time ago, without enemies, some birds lost their ability to fly, and some insects became gigantic.
It’s interesting to know ...
Before Europeans came to New Zealand there were no predatory animals at all. This was so good for many flightless birds. All wild mammals living in New Zealand at present were imported.
Flora and fauna of New Zealand
Many of New Zealand's native animals are found nowhere else in the world:
- the kiwi - its egg is about one fifth of its own weight
- the kakapo - the world’s largest flightless parrot

New Zealand's rivers are mainly short and swift. The longest river is the Waikato. There are many lakes on both islands as well. The North Island's volcanic interior contains New Zealand's largest lake. Its name is lake Taupo.
New Zealand is known for its maritime climate which is quite good during the whole year. It is moist, temperate and is affected by latitude and the proximity of the ocean.
Climate of this country has no extremes and no wide range of temperatures. The difference of winter and summer temperatures is about 10 degrees. That is why New Zealand is very attractive for tourists. Seasons here are reverse of the Northern Hemisphere like in Australia.

Big cities
More than 85 per cent of the population of New Zealand lives in urban areas. The principal country cities are Wellington (the capital), Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Hutt City, Invercargill. Early in the 20 th century the first four mentioned cities were almost equal in importance but then they started to develop rapidly except for Dunedin.

An interesting historical fact…
Wellington's nickname is “the windy city”. The first European name of the city was “Port Nicholson” named after a captain of the British navy who in 1839 bought the land from the local Maori tribe in exchange for blankets. In 1840 the first settlers arrived from Britain and called this settlement “Britannia”. And “Britannia” later became “Wellington”.
Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and its former capital. It has a population of over a million people. Auckland was first established as the capital of the British colonial government.
Despite the fact that Auckland is much larger than Wellington it is geographically less central. So, this was the major deciding factor for transferring the capital to Wellington.
Christchurch and Dunedin are two main cities of the South Island. These cities are very much like British ones because of their atmosphere.
- the Maori - Maori, representatives of the Polynesian race, aborigines of New Zealand.
The population of New Zealand is over four million people. It is unevenly distributed. The main part of the population lives on the North Island which is obviously closer to the Equator and warmer. About 50 per cent of the population lives in four cities of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.

Almost 70 per cent of the population is people of European (mainly British) background. And about eight per cent is the Maori, New Zealand's indigenous inhabitants or Aborigines. There are also small minorities of Pacific Islanders and Asians.
The Maori originate from a Polynesian people from south-east Asia. The exact date of Polynesian settlement on islands of New Zealand is unknown. It could be between 950-1130 AD.
The Maori tribes had lived on the islands of New Zealand for hundreds of years before the white people came there.
Abel Tasman was the first European explorer who saw New Zealand in 1642. But captain James Cook, an Englishman, was the first who first set foot on New Zealand’s soil in 1769. After his voyages Europeans began to come frequently.
The population of the country
An interesting historical fact…
Before Europeans came to the island, the tribes of Maori did not have the name for themselves. They adopted the name “Maori” meaning “normal” to distinguish themselves from Europeans.
The tribes of Maori are well-known all over the world. The Maori are famous for their folk-songs and wood-work. They are often called “Vikings of Sunrise”.
The population of the country
In the 19 th century there was a struggle between the Maori people and the British colonies. It was a series of the Maori Wars. Many of the Maori were killed and English settlers took their lands.
Both English and Maori are official languages. English is more widely spoken, though the Maori language is now coming back thanks to the revival of their native language Maoritanga and Maori culture.
The symbols of New Zealand
The symbol of New Zealand is the kiwi - a flightless bird, native to this country.
Kiwi has no tail, almost no wings and is about the size of a large hen. No other bird lays eggs so large in proportion to its size: the egg is about one fifth of its own weigh. It means that in many ways the kiwi does not look like an ordinary bird. It is rare and very much protected.

They often call small children “Kiwis”. In elementary school there are such posters with the words: “Be a tidy kiwi!”
The bird is now used in the coat of arms, crests and badges of many New Zealand cities, clubs and organizations.
The symbols of New Zealand
As for the New Zealand Flag, the stars of the Southern Cross show country’s location in the South Pacific Ocean. The Union Flag shows that New Zealand was once a British colony.
The symbols of New Zealand
The New Zealand and Australian flags have very much in common. The only difference is that the Australian Flag shows the stars of the Southern Cross in white color on a blue field while the New Zealand Flag shows the stars in red on a blue field.
The symbols of New Zealand
There are two national anthems of New Zealand and both have equal status. These are "God defend New Zealand" and “God Save the Queen”. The first one is always used on sports occasions.

Today New Zealanders are highly educated and sophisticated urban dwellers.
There is a cultural phenomenon in New Zealand known as “kiwiana”. You know that New Zealanders are called “kiwis” around the world after the native bird “kiwi”. Now their “kiwi” sense of humor, “kiwi” view of life make up “Kiwiana”, which is all the special things and details that show their national identity, their “kiwi nationhood”.
Kiwifruit, for example, was once known as Chinese gooseberry, but the fact that it was imported from New Zealand made world call this fruit - kiwifruit.
Some details of culture of New Zealand
There is a famous New Zealand dessert called “pavlova” (meringue, cream and kiwi topping). It was invented as a tribute to the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova who toured to Australia and New Zealand in 1926.
For the meringue:
- proteins from 4 eggs
- 1 cup (200 ml) sugar
Besides:
- 0.5 L jar of pitted canned cherries
- 10-15 pcs. crumbly unsweetened cracker
- 100 g ground walnuts or almonds
For the cream:
- 0.5 l heavy cream or thick sour cream
- 150 g sugar
- 1 bag of vanilla sugar
- preferably - 1-2 sachets of cream thickener (if you have cream of 35% fat, then you will not need it)
For the chocolate sauce:
- 3 tbsp. tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 3-4 tablespoons Sahara
- 3-5 tbsp water
How to make dessert “pavlova”
1. Cooking meringues (can be done in advance, but then store in a tightly closed jar, in a dry place). Beat 4 egg whites with 1 stack. Sahara. Preheat the oven to 75 degrees C (maximum - up to 100). Lightly grease a baking sheet with refined sunflower oil, sprinkle a little with flour, and put small bezeshki on it with a teaspoon (or from a pastry syringe with a star-shaped nozzle). Place in a preheated oven. HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING - IN ORDER TO GET WHITE AND CRISPY, IT SHOULD HAVE TO DRY IN THE OVEN, RIGHT TO BAKE !!! That is why low temperature and baking time are so important - about 1 - 1.5 hours! When the meringues are ready, carefully remove them from the baking sheet and leave in a dry place.
2. Prepare the cream: beat the cream (sour cream) with sugar, vanilla sugar and fixative into a strong foam.
3. Chocolate sauce: mix cocoa powder with sugar, add water (until mushy), put on low heat, stirring occasionally, boil for 3-5 minutes. Cool down.

4. Composing the dessert: on the bottom of the dish in which the dessert will be served, put some crumbled crackers, then a spoonful of chocolate sauce, then a little cream, then meringue, then cherries, crackers, sauce, cream, etc. Sprinkle all this with nuts. Layers should be made loosely, rather conditionally, the main thing is that the layers are evenly distributed and "picturesque".
5. Top with a little sauce. Can be garnished with a cocktail cherry. Let stand in the cold for 1-2 hours.
Enjoy your dessert !!!
