Stewart Island and many smaller islands lie offshore.The North Island of New Zealand has a 'spine' of mountain ranges running through the middle, with gentle rolling farmland on both sides. The central North Island is dominated by the Volcanic Plateau, an active volcanic and thermal area. The massive Southern Alps form the backbone of the South Island. To the east of the Southern Alps is the rolling farmland of Otago and Southland, and the vast, flat Canterbury Plains.Discover summer in New Zealand：All things sun, sea &sandOpposite to that of the northern hemisphere, New Zealand’s balmy summer season runs from December to February.
