Is New Zealand the same as Hawaii?
New Zealand and Hawaii are similar in that they are groups of islands quite isolated from large land masses, have a small land area and population. Some aspects of Maori language are similar to Hawaiian as they are both Pacific languages. Hawaii is much warmer with that tropical feel.
Why isnt New Zealand an island?
New Zealand is about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the islands of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Owing to their remoteness, the islands of New Zealand were the last large habitable landmass to be settled by humans.
Where does New Zealand get its name?
The first European to arrive in New Zealand was the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642. The name New Zealand comes from the Dutch ‘Nieuw Zeeland’, the name first given to us by a Dutch mapmaker.
How much of New Zealand is underwater?
94\%
About 94\% of it is underwater — Zealandia sunk under the waves about 30 million to 50 million years after it broke off Gondwana. So it’s a challenging land mass to study. The geologists behind the recent research looked at 169 chunks of Zealandia granite, which were found under New Zealand’s South and Stewart Islands.

Should I go to Hawaii or New Zealand?
The day trip to Hawaii to see Kilauea is one of my travel highlights. In terms of the travel experience you will find New Zealand quite different. If you are wanting a tropical island then Fiji or the Cook Islands might suit you better. Jan/Feb are the hottest months here and better for the beach.
Is there a new island in the Hawaiian chain?
A New Island in the Hawaiian Chain? If the hot-spot theory is correct, the next volcano in the Hawaiian chain should form east or south of the Island of Hawai’i. Abundant evidence indicates that such a new volcano exists at Lö’ihi, a seamount (or submarine peak) located about 20 miles off the south coast.
What are the two parts of New Zealand called?
They are the North Island or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island or Te Waipounamu. Various Māori iwi sometimes use different names, with some preferring to call the South Island Te Waka o Aoraki.
