The Landscapes of New Zealand

       New Zealand may be familiar to some people as the home of Hobbit's, Dwarves, and Elves. But the land of the long white cloud is oh so spectacular in it's own right. The two islands that make up this beautiful country showcase an amazing variety of landscapes and geographic features. From cascading glaciers and picturesque fiords, to active volcanoes and rolling plains, from placid lakes and spectacular forests to vast mountain ranges and rugged cliffs, you could spend years exploring this fantastical world. New Zealand is definitely a worthy enough home for a range of mythical creatures:
