New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude. Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture. New Zealand sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, so small earthquakes are common.
