From Whakaari/White Island and the Huka falls to the Moeraki Boulders and Milford Sound, Aotearoa New Zealand overflows with extraordinary landforms and other natural features.

Hayward guides reader through 100 natural wonders of Aotearoa – introducing the geology and history with words, explanatory diagrams and remarkable aerial photography by alastair Jamieson and Lloyd Homer.
