There are 3 active volcanoes, White Island which is off our coast, Ruapehu which is near Lake Taupo and has just been erupting and Mayor Island - the others are just dormant.

Bronwyn New Zealand is 268704 sq kilometres. Norton New Zealand is actually a bit bigger than Great Britain approximately 25000 square kilometres bigger. The weather ranges from a tropical climate up north to a very cold atmosphere down south.
