New Zealand's two main islands, North and South Islands, are separated by the Cook Strait. Australia, its nearest neighbor, is 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) away.The islands were created just 23 million years ago when land was thrust out of the ocean by volcanic forces. New Zealand has more than 50 volcanoes, some of which are still active today. Sharp snowy peaks, rocky shores, and pastures create a majestic landscape.The South Island is home to the highest mountain peak in New Zealand, Mount Cook, which rises to 12,316 feet (3,754 meters) and is called "Cloud Piercer" by the Maori people.New Zealanders, or "Kiwis" as they are called, have been shaped by their isolation. Today, most Kiwis are no longer farmers, with 86 percent of the population living in cities. More people live in the city of Auckland on North IslandRugby is the favorite sport and nearly everyone cheers on the national team, the All Blacks. Many Kiwis also enjoy cricket.There are nine different species of dolphin that are found around the New Zealand coast, including Hector's, Māui and bottlenose dolphins. These dolphins are large, gentle, intelligent creatures who seem to seek out human company when you encounter them. The common dolphin is very distinctive with a criss-cross or hour-glass type pattern centred on the flanks. Colours include purplish black, grey, white and yellowish tan. The bottlenose dolphin has dark or light grey on the back grading to white on the undersides, although their colour and shape can be variable. The smaller dusky dolphin, less than two metres long is equally as playful. And then there’s the Hector’s dolphin, one of the world’s smallest and rarest dolphins found only in our waters.
