Milford Sound is in Fiordland on the south west coast of the South Island of New Zealand. It is only reached by land via a town Called Te Anau; you then travel along the shore of lake Te Anau, up the Eglington Valley and through the Homer Tunnel.
Fish, dolphins, seals, and occasionally whales. At Harrison Cove there is an underwater observatory, from which you can see undersea, including the black corals. Penguins and other seabirds of course, and the denziens of the forest if you're inclined that way.
The tunnel is Homer tunnel, named after an early explorer W H Homer. His visit was preceded by that of Patrick Q Caples, but he did not ascend the Homer Saddle, though he left an excellent map.
Te Anau is closest by road travel (1.5 hrs by road), Queenstown is closest by air travel (3.5 hrs by road).
Dunedin, South Island, NZ
New Zealand's largest city is Auckland with a population of 1,313,200.
The shortest direct as-the-crow-flies route from New Zealand (let's say Auckland because it is the largest city and likely to be closest to the Americas) and the city of Toronto, Canada, would be approximately 13 877 km2 or 8623 sq mi. The route around the Pacific Ocean would be closer than the distance through Eurasia.
Whangarie
Yes. Christchurch is a city in the far south of the South Island of New Zealand. It is the largest city on the South Island, and the third largest city in the country. It is also, unfortunately, earthquake-prone.
The southernmost City is Invercargill, and the southernmost town, Oban in Stewart island.
neither. Milford sound is a classic Fiord - steep-walled valley sides, and entering the sea.
The closest major city to the Chatams is Christchurch.
The closest national capital is Canberra. Canberra. This is the ONLY capital city of Australia. (The next closest capital city is in New Zealand.) :)
Wellington.
No. The part of Australia which is closest to New Zealand is the island state of Tasmania, so the closest Australian city to New Zealand would be Hobart.
None. It is a location on the South Island of New Zealand. The closest large city however is Wellington some 40 miles away and which is New Zealand's capital. See link below for handy longitude-latitude locator.

Nope...no its not
Rotorua is the city that would have been closest to the Pink and White Terraces (they were destroyed by the eruption of Mount Tarawera in 1886).
