The Southern Alps run down the South Island, while the North Island has a volcanic plateau with hot springs and geysers. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so packing shifts by the month. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840. Fish and chips, meat pies and flat whites are everyday takeaway staples across the country.
