New Zealand is made up of the North Island, the South Island and, further to the south, the much smaller Stewart Island (Rakiura).

The third most populated island in New Zealand is Waiheke in the Hauraki Gulf near Auckland.

The Maori name for the North Island is Te Ika A Maui (the fish of Maui) while the South island is Te Wai Pounamu (The place of Greenstone) or Te Waka A Maui (the canoe of Maui). In addition there is Stewart Island to the far south, and dozens more smaller islands, some of which are inhabited. They include the Antipodes Islands, Auckland Islands, Bounty Islands, Campbell Island, Chatham Islands, and Kermadec Islands.
