Description
STS110-726-006 (8-19 April 2002) --- One of the astronauts onboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis exposed this image of Mount Egmont Volcano, New Zealand. Sometimes referred to as Mount Taranaki, the land feature is a young stratovolcano that began to form 70,000 years ago, according to volcanists. Located in southwest North Island, New Zealand, Mount Egmont, at 8,261 feet (2,518 meters) is the second tallest volcanic mountain in New Zealand. Perpetually snow-capped, the volcano last erupted in 1755. Mount Egmont has a history of a major size eruption occurring every 340 years, with numerous minor ones in between. The volcano has had three major cone collapses in the last 25,000 years with the last collapse occurring 6,970 years ago. With each collapse, thick layers of ash and lava crumbled into thick, muddy avalanches called lahars. These lahars have reached the coastline 25 miles (40 kilometers) to the west and north of the volcano (bottom center and left center). The volcano is surrounded by forest, especially on its lower flanks, which is part of a National Park. The pastureland that circles the park is used for dairy farming.
Description
STS101-718-003 (19-29 May 2000) --- Among the volcanoes photographed by the STS-101 crew aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis were Ruapehu (with snow) and Tongariro (more eroded), both active on North Island, New Zealand. The south end of Lake Taupo is visible in the 70mm camera's view. The smaller lake is Rotoaira.
Description
STS079-835-065 Southern Alps, South Island, New Zealand September 1996 This southwest-looking view shows most of southern South Island, New Zealand. Along the right (west) margin of the image, the snow-covered Southern Alps are visible. The Southern Alps parallel the western coast of South Island. The southwest-northeast trending range has 17 peaks higher than 9842 feet (3000 meters) including Mount Cook (Aorangi) at 12316 feet (3754 meters), the tallest peak in New Zealand. There are more than 3100 active glaciers in the Southern Alps. West (right) of the Southern Alps there is little or no coastal plain. Along the west coast, steep-sided valleys and fiords are the prevailing landscape. East (left) of the Alps are extensive foothills and glaciated valleys, many occupied by deep freshwater lakes. There are also large areas that are covered with a glacial fluvial outwash of sand and gravel, and a number of intricately braided rivers. Along the east coast near the bottom left of the image is the Cantebury Plain, the largest area of fertile flat land in New Zealand. The southeastern part of the island near the upper center of the image is an irregular dissected section of land that consists of small plains and basins surrounded by hills. At the upper center of the image, Stewart Island is discernible.
Description
STS079-835-068 Canterbury Plain, Southern Alps, New Zealand September 1996 In this west-looking view, the snow-covered Southern Alps of central South Island, New Zealand can be seen. Running southwest to northeast along the western coast of South Island, the Southern Alps are rugged mountains made up of numerous peaks in excess of 9842 feet (3000 meters). Within the Southern Alps, there are over 3100 active glaciers. Evergreen woodlands dot the western coast and many glacial lakes are visible on the eastern slopes of the mountains. Just below the center of the image, the Canterbury Plain, the largest area of fertile, flat land in New Zealand, is visible. Braided rivers up to 16 miles (25 km) wide are discernible crossing the plain. The Banks Peninsula, formed following a violent eruption of two volcanoes, extends outward from the east coast into the Pacific Ocean. The peninsula is 35 miles (56 km) long and 25 miles (40 km) wide. The bright area off the west coast of the island is caused by sun glint off the waters of the Tasman Sea.

S116-E-05983 (12 Dec. 2006) --- Backdropped by New Zealand and Cook Strait in the Pacific Ocean, astronaut Robert L. Curbeam Jr. (left) and European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Christer Fuglesang, both STS-116 mission specialists, participate in the mission's first of three planned sessions of extravehicular activity (EVA) as construction continues on the International Space Station. Cook Strait divides New Zealand's North and South Islands.
Description
STS109-E-6003 (10 March 2002) --- The astronauts on board the Space Shuttle Columbia took this digital picture featuring a well-defined subtropical cyclone. The view looks southwestward over the Tasman Sea (between Australia and New Zealand). According to meteorologists studying the STS-109 photo collection, such circulations are recognized as hybrids, lacking the tight banding and convection of tropical cyclones, and the strong temperature contrast and frontal boundaries of polar storms. The image was recorded with a digital still camera.

JSC2000-E-02646 --- This SRTM image shows part of the western side of New Zealand's South Island. This SRTM frame shows a 30x30-kilometer (19x19 miles) area around Karamea Bight with a resolution of 25 meters (~80 ft). The color-coded elevation model is overlaid with the corresponding RADAR image to simultaneously present elevation and coverage information. The mountains of Kaikoura Range reach up to 2900 meters (~8800 ft) and then slope steeply down from 2600 meters (7900 ft) down to sea level. The color-coded elevation model is overlaid with the corresponding RADAR image to simultaniously present elevation and coverage information. Data and information for the New Zealand material was provided by Stephen McNeill and Dr. Stella Bellis, Landcare Research, New Zealand. All X-SAR imagery and related charts and maps are coordinated and/or provided by DLR, Germany's national aerospace resource center as well as the national space agency.
Description
JSC2000-E-02637 (12 February 2000) --- New Zealand's South Island is crossed from Karamea Bight in the northwest down to the Kaikoura Peninsula in the southeast. Along this short 175-kilometer length, a huge range of geological, climatic, and vegetation changes is covered. The swath runs across the northern part of the South Island over country with very few roads and even fewer people, except near the coastal areas. On the western side of the Tasman Mountains clouds pile up; there is heavy rainfall and thus, forests extend almost to the crests of the ranges. East of the mountains are semi-arid grasslands, and the valleys of inland Marlborough are some of New Zealand's driest environment. To the east the mountains of Kaikoura Range reach up to 2900 meters (~8800 ft) and then slope steeply down from 2600 meters (7900 feet) down to sea level. Data and information for the New Zealand material was provided by Stephen McNeill and Dr. Stella Bellis, Landcare Research, New Zealand.

Description
ISS016-E-005121 (21 Oct. 2007) --- Wellington, New Zealand is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 16 crewmember on the International Space Station. New Zealand's capital of Wellington is located at the southwestern tip of North Island near the Cook Strait. The city is the second largest in New Zealand (after Auckland), and at 41 degrees south latitude, it is the southernmost capital city of the world. The North and South Islands of New Zealand are located along the active Australian-Pacific tectonic plate boundary -- the Islands are only a small part of a larger submerged fragment of continental crust. The glancing collision of these two tectonic plates results in uplift of the land surface, expressed as low hills on North Island and the Southern Alps on South Island. Local topography visible in this view is a result of these tectonic forces and weathering processes, which have exerted a strong influence on the morphology of the city. Tightly clustered white rooftops and high building density of the central business district are visible to the south of the Westpac Stadium between vegetated (green) northeast-southwest trending ridges. Lower density development (gray gridded regions with scattered white rooftops) has spread eastwards along the Miramar Peninsula. Five major faults that run through the Wellington metropolitan area; the largest magnitude earthquake recorded in New Zealand (approximately 8.2 on the Richter Scale) occurred in 1855 on one of these (the Wairarapa Fault). Recognition of the potential seismic hazard in the metropolitan area has led to adoption of building codes to maximize structural resistance to earthquake damage.
Description
ISS013-E-67242 (15 Aug. 2006) --- Christchurch, New Zealand is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 13 crewmember on the International Space Station. Snow highlights the peaks of the Banks Peninsula to the southeast of the city. The Peninsula has a radically different landscape compared to the adjoining flat Canterbury Plains on which Christchurch is situated. This is a result of the geology of the Banks Peninsula -- it is formed from the overlapping cones of the extinct Lyttelton and Akaroa volcanoes. Subsequent erosion of the cones formed the heavily dissected terrain visible in the image, and sea level rise led to the creation of several harbors around the Peninsula. Erosion continues unabated today, as evidenced by the apron of greenish blue sediment-laden waters surrounding the Banks Peninsula. Other features of interest in the image include the braided Waimakariri River to the north-northwest of the city, and the greenish brown waters of Lake Ellesmere. The coloration of the water is due both to its shallow depth (1.4 meters average) and its high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus - conditions which lead to a high abundance of green algae.
Description
ISS012-E-05727 (27 October 2005) --- Plankton plume, North Island, New Zealand is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 12 crewmember on the international space station. According to NASA scientists, plankton blooms are beginning to appear with increasing spring solar illumination of the Pacific coast of New Zealand?s North Island. They point out that the center of this slightly enhanced image a plume can be seen extending from the coastline (near Castlepoint in the southern part of North Island), where it starts rotating in an eddy. Another broader swath of less intensely colored plankton appears in the lower part of the picture. Both plankton masses are being swept offshore (eastward) by waters of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Large areas of plankton production are generated along the convergence zone?known as the Subtropical Front, at about 40 degrees south latitude?between the Antarctic Circumpolar current and subtropical waters. The convergence zone provides the mixing mechanism for nutrients, with plankton blooms appearing when spring lighting becomes strong enough. Scientists note that the convergence zone extends generally east-west at about the latitude of Cook Strait that divides New Zealand?s North and South Islands (not visible). Satellite imagery shows that the plankton blooms in this image extended fully 8 degrees of longitude eastward, past the Chatham Islands. Smaller, brightly colored eddies along the coastline are sediment plumes generated by wave action and supplied by rivers. The coastal sediment patterns reveal the precise location of the convergence zone. Castlepoint marks a change in coastline orientation but also a change in near-shore current direction: south of Castlepoint sediment is moved by the major north-flowing Antarctic Circumpolar Current. But north of Castlepoint, near-shore sediment is transported southwards by currents in the subtropical waters, before being entrained in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
Description
ISS005-E-21472 (25 November 2002) --- The Space Shuttle Endeavour is backdropped over Cook Strait, New Zealand as it approaches the International Space Station (ISS) during STS-113 rendezvous and docking operations. Docking occurred at 3:59 p.m. (CST) on November 25, 2002. The Port One (P1) truss, which was later to be attached to the station and outfitted during three spacewalks, can be seen in Endeavour's cargo bay. Endeavour's namesake, and her captain, First Lieutenant James Cook, moved through the waters of Cook Strait for the first time on Feb. 7, 1770.
