Introduction

Salutations! My name is Kevin McBride and the island nation of New Zealand will be the focus of my geographical analysis for this blog.

Why New Zealand? Other than the richly unique  landscapes and biodiversity, these islands happen to be a hotbed of geographic activity.  From top to bottom this corner of the world offers various different features, greatly due to its position atop a  subduction zone.  It is this process along with many others that result in the forms of towering mountains, glaciers and even one of the worlds largest super volcanoes.  I aim to investigate the native geography of New Zealand further and hope to shed some light on this mysterious island.
