South Island, New Zealand

Images of the South Island are highlighted throughout Tourism NewZealands 100% PURE campaign. Te Wai Pounamu is the Mori title, reecting the highly valued gem unique to this island greenstone (nephrite jade). Our land of big skies, magnicent mountains and exquisite jewel coloured lakes is also favoured by directors for setting their epic cinematic classics like the Narnia lms and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Its adventure central with almost every kind of extreme sport you can think of, yet for many visitors, the thrill is in discovering the freshness of the air, the delectable local foods and a serene space to simply relax and picnic away an afternoon. The seasons are stunning with distinct changes in landscape from the beautiful blossoms that decorate Christchurch in spring, to the snow clad peaks of the Southern Alps as a backdrop to the city each winter.
