Actually the country of New Zealand is made up of two main islands and also by many smaller islands that are located near the water hemisphere’s centre. Actually the North and South islands of New Zealand is separated by the Cook Strait which is 22 Kilometers wide. There are five largest inhabited islands in the South and North islands that are Stewart Island, Great Barrier Island which is in Hauraki Gulf, the Chatham Islands, Waiheke Island which is about 22 Km from the central Auckland and d’Urville Island which is in Marlborough Sounds.
The New Zealand is long with more than 1600 kilometers and is narrow with a maximum width of 400 kilometers with round about 15,134 km from the coastline and has a total land area of 268,031 square kilometers. The country also has long coastline with many outlying islands and it also has many extensive marine resources. Over the 300 meters there are round about 18 peaks and the highest from all this is Aoraki/Mount Cook which is round about 3,760 meters high.
New Zealand is also very different country because of its steep mountains and also because of its deep fiords records. Actually the north island of the New Zealand has fewer mountains but is also marked with many volcanos. Actually the active volcanic zone has formed many small volcanic plateaus that are punctuated by the mountain of the North Islands.
