New Zealand is a country in the Southwest Pacific. Its most commonly used Maori language name is Aotearoa, usually translated Land of the Long White Cloud. Originally Aotearoa applied only to the North Island and its literal translation is Long White Cloud (ao = cloud, tea = white, roa = long). An earlier Maori name for New Zealand was Niu Tireni, a transliteration of New Zealand. New Zealand is somewhat isolated in the ocean and consists of two main islands (prosaically known as the North Island and the South Island) and numerous smaller islands. The continent of Australia is almost 2000 km to the northwest of the main islands. To the south is Antarctica and to the north are New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga. New Zealand is composed of two main islands and a number of smaller islands. The South Island is the largest land mass, and is divided along its length by the Southern Alps, the highest peak of which is Mount Cook, at 3754 metres. There are eighteen peaks of more than three thousand meters in the South Island. The North Island is less mountainous than the South, but is marked by volcanism. The tallest North Island mountain, Mount Ruapehu (2797 metres,) is an active cone volcano. The total land area of New Zealand, 268,680 km2, is somewhat less than that of Japan or of the British Isles, and slightly larger than Colorado in the USA. The country extends more than 1600 km along its main, north-northeast axis. The usual climate throughout the country is mild, mostly cool temperate to warm temperate, with temperatures rarely falling below 0°C or rising above 30°C. Conditions vary from wet and cold in Southland and the West Coast of the South Island, where most of the country's rain falls, to subtropical in Northland. In Wellington the average minimum temperature in winter is 5.9°C and the average maximum temperature in summer is 20.3°C. About 80% of the New Zealand population is of European descent. These people are often known in New Zealand as Pakeha. Maori people are the second largest ethnic group (14.7%). Between the 1996 and 2001 census, people of Asian origin (6.6%) overtook Pacific Islanders (6.5%) as the third largest ethnic group. Note that the census allowed multiple affiliations. Maori culture is a significant feature of New Zealand's public life. The main Christian denominations are Anglicanism, Presbyterianism, Roman Catholicism and Methodism. Over a third of the population is unaffiliated.
