New Zealand is one of the many islands that make up Oceania.

New Zealand consists of two main islands: North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and South Island (Te Waipounamu). The islands are separated by the waters of the Cook Strait. The mountains found on North Island are volcanic in nature, and many remain quite active.

South Island is the larger of the two islands and is the 12th largest island in the world!
