New Zealand South Island

New Zealand's South Island (Te Wai Pounamu) is home to the cities of Nelson, Christchurch, Queenstown, Dunedin and Invercargill. Despite a modest share in New Zealand's population, the South Island is often referred to as the 'Mainland', given the vastness of its landmass. The South Island is perhaps best well known for its impressive natural landscape.
