Today we visited one of New Zealands famous national park Abel Tasman National Park. It is located at the north end of the South Island of New Zealand. Founded in 1942 by Perrine Moncrieff. He reserved that land with a coverage of only  225,3 square kilometers and it is the smallest of New Zealand national parks. The park is named after the first european explorer Abel Tasman who discovered New Zealand in 1642. Me and Natalie walked around the park and talked about our work here and suddenly we asked ourselves how the land looks like (geographically), and also we wanted to know how the climate is in New Zealand so we decided to meet an expert for those questions.

New Zealand is long over 1,600 kilometers and the country is made up of two islands, The South Island and The North Island. South Island is the largest land mass of New Zealand. If you are on the top of South Island you will see lots of forests and they actually have a few national parks over there. In the south-western corner of the South Island you will be in a area called Fjordland. It's a area that contains high mountains cut through with steep fjords. The North Island is a little bit less mountainous, however it is marked by volcanism becuase of the highly active volcano callled Taupo. There isn't much to say about the land more than it is tropical island, so we asked the expert about the climate. The climate in New Zealand is different as any other country, the summer in New Zealand is in January, so if you want to travel to New Zealand then travel in January. The climate throughout the country is mild and temperate, mainly maritime, with mean annual temperatures ranging from 10°C in the south to 16°C in the north. The southern and south-western parts of the South Island have a cooler and cloudier climate, with around 1,400–1,600 hours  the northern and north-eastern parts of the South Island are the sunniest areas of the country and receive about 2,400 to 2,500 hours
