The riches of South Island<\/b><\/h2>\n

Nicknamed \u201cthe land of the long white cloud\u201d by its earliest inhabitants, the Maori, New Zealand charms visitors with contrasting nature. The country is made up of numerous islands and two large archipelagos: North Island and South Island. Oscillating between mountains, fjords and fine sandy beaches, the landscapes are varied, perfectly preserved and will quench your thirst for adventure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Alps of the Southern Hemisphere<\/b><\/h3>\n

What makes the South Island truly special is its mountains<\/b>. Located on the western part of the island<\/a>, the Southern Alps<\/b> are a playground for hikers. Although this fascinating site is in a temperate area, it immerses visitors in the ice age. At its heart lie 360 glaciers, some of which reach an altitude of 3,000 metres. Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier<\/b> are some of the most impressive, found in Westland National Park<\/b>, one of three nature parks on South Island. These glaciers are unique because they descend to a very low altitude (300 m) and carve valleys until they reach sea level.

Thousand-year-old fjords<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the must-see <\/b>sites on South Island<\/b> is the famous Fiordland National Park <\/b>and its impressive fjords<\/a>, with the best known being Milford Sound<\/b>. In this park, which is an integral part of Te Wahipounamu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/b>, visitors sail along a valley bordered by majestic cliffs and shaped by glaciers over 100,000 years. Norway in the Southern Hemisphere Fur seals and sea lions lounge on the rocks while dolphins escort the boats. When the mountains are reflected in the water, something unthinkable happens: the landscape becomes twice as beautiful.

Paradise for Robinson Crusoe<\/b><\/h3>\n

After climbing peaks, admiring snowy valleys, and paddling in the Southern Ocean, continue your New Zealand adventure<\/b> at the beach with a moment of pure relaxation. Head to Abel Tasman National Park<\/b>. It may be the smallest national park the country has to offer, but it\u2019s also the most beautiful. With lush forests, fine sandy beaches and turquoise waters, it is a veritable island paradise. Indulge in a spot of daydreaming on the orange sand at Onetahuti beach<\/b>. This little slice of paradise enjoys more than 2,500 hours of sunshine each year. Seals<\/b> greet you lazily as they sun themselves on the rocks. Coming back down to Earth after the South Island<\/b> has taken you to new heights with its mountains and wonders is certainly a challenge!
