The remote island of New Zealand is located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Its territory consists of 2 main islands and approximately 600 smaller islands and is known for its Alps and volcanoes. This isolated region was one of the last areas to be settled by humans, sometime in 1300 AD. New Zealand was discovered by Dutch explorers in 1642. In 1840 the United Kingdom claimed the islands, and became a country on May 7, 1856. In 1947, New Zealand declared independence from England.
