North Island
Auckland's main territory
North Island is the more populous of New Zealand's two main islands, home to Auckland and the capital Wellington.
It contains about three-quarters of New Zealand's population.
The island features volcanic landscapes, geothermal activity, and Māori cultural centers: We spent a week touring the North Island. (South Island is New Zealand's other main island.)
