Glacier-carved mountains, bubbling thermal springs—New Zealand offers an array of natural splendors found nowhere else on Earth. • North Island and South Island split the Pacific from the Tasman Sea. • Agriculture is the nation's economic engine, and there are few places in the world where one can dine on finer, fresher delicacies than those grown or raised here or pulled from the abundant sea. • Dominated by two cultural groups, European descendants and the minority Maori, New Zealand boasts a populace that is largely prosperous and contented, proud of the exotic land they call home.
