New Zealand is known worldwide for its beautiful, lush landscape. Having stood in for the imaginary lands of J.R.R. Tolkien, the areas in and around Nelson, New Zealand are awe-inspiring. The area lies near the center of the country, and is a great attraction for movie fans and nature-lovers alike. From Cape Reinga, visitors can see where the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean meet. This cape is significant to the native Maori people, and is also home to an iconic and popular lighthouse. And the Huka Falls allow you to view firsthand the enormous power of water. In this video, WatchMojo.com looks at New Zealand’s striking scenery.
