Famous Landmarks

New Zealand is a country with many famous landmarks - it is in the southwestern Pacific Ocean consisting of 2 main islands, both marked by volcanoes and glaciation. On the North Island, capital Wellington's dramatic setting, including Mt. Victoria, the Fiordland and Southern Lakes, stood in for mythical Middle Earth in Peter Jackson’s "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The expansive national museum, Te Papa, is dedicated to all things New Zealand.
