New Zealand travels to Antarctica.

Blog / 11/13/2024

There are three routes to the South Pole:

Departure route from Australia or New Zealand: It takes about 25 to 30 days, with high cost, few shipping companies, long sailing time and unsafe sea area. Departure route of Argentine ushuaia Port: The journey takes about 10 to 15 days, and there are many shipping companies operating, so the route is relatively mature. Departure route of Punta arenas, Chile: flight plus cruise ship route or air route only, which has the disadvantages of shorter travel time, fewer places to visit and relatively low tourism quality.

New Zealand's route to Antarctica?

1. New Zealand goes to the South Pole by sailing from Bluff, a port city in southern New Zealand, and just sailing south.

2. New Zealand is a major island country in Oceania. It faces Australia across the sea. There is a route from New Zealand to Antarctica, which is in the southern port city of Bluff. You can sail to Antarctica from here.

3. Starting from New Zealand, you can also take a cruise to visit the South Pole. This is a smaller and more unique Antarctic product, exploring not the Antarctic Peninsula, but visiting the real Antarctic continent through the Ross Sea. What's even more rare is that you can also visit the inaccessible sub-Antarctic islands in southern New Zealand.

Historical geography of New Zealand?

The historical geography of New Zealand is as follows

In the 10th century, Polynesian navigators from Cook Islands and Tahiti came to New Zealand by canoe. By the 12th century, many settlements had been distributed throughout the country. Since 1350, Maori have settled in New Zealand.

In 1642, abel jansson Tasman, a Dutch navigator, discovered the west coast of New Zealand in an ocean adventure, but he was attacked by the Maori when he tried to land, and quickly left. However, he named the land Nieuw Zealand after a region in the Netherlands. He drew a map of some west coast areas, but he did not land here.

From 1769 to 1777, British Captain Cook visited New Zealand for five times, after which Britain immigrated to New Zealand in large numbers and declared its occupation. Subsequently, people who fished for seals and whales also came here, and missionaries soon followed, and settlements began to be gradually established.

On February 6, 1840, Britain forced Maori chiefs to sign the Treaty of Waitangi. In 1856, New Zealand became an autonomous colony of Britain.

In 1840, New Zealand estimated that the Maori population was 100,000, and about 2,000 European settlers (known as Pakeha by Maori) were distributed in coastal areas. At that time, there was no national government or national leader in New Zealand, and Maori and white groups asked Britain to provide some protection and law and order.

On February 6, 1840, Britain forced Maori chiefs to sign the Treaty of Waitangi, which made New Zealand an autonomous colony of Britain. This treaty is regarded as the founding document of New Zealand. It gives the early pioneers the right to settle in New Zealand and promises Maori to continue to own their land, forests and fisheries as they wish. It states that Maori will make their own decisions on land and lifestyle, and promises to establish a government so that all people can live a peaceful and legal life. The treaty also established that New Zealanders enjoy the rights of British citizens. It is still a "current text" and a controversial topic in New Zealand concerning ethnic relations. After the signing of this treaty, more people began to settle here, most of them settled in the southern island, where the land was suitable for farming, and gold mines were also found in Otago and the west coast.

How is Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Northern Europe divided?

Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Northern Europe are divided according to geographical location and cultural background.

Asia-Pacific region refers to Asia and the Pacific region. It includes East Asia (such as China, Japan and South Korea), Southeast Asia (such as Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines), South Asia (such as India and Pakistan) and Pacific island countries (such as Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii).

The Middle East mainly refers to West Asia and North Africa. It includes Arabian Peninsula (such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq), Mediterranean coastal areas in the Middle East (such as Israel, Jordan and Egypt) and Persian Gulf coastal areas (such as Iran and United Arab Emirates).

Nordic region refers to the Nordic Peninsula and its surrounding areas. It includes Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland, and sometimes Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, three Baltic countries.

These regional divisions are mainly based on the differences in geographical location and cultural background, and are used to study, count and describe the characteristics and development of different regions.
