New Zealand has an interesting origin story. It was originally called Staten Landt, after the dutch explorer, Abel Tasman, confused the South Island for a place that goes by that name in Argentina. Little did he know, he was far, far away from the shores of South America. Instead, he was the first European to set eyes on the beautiful country of New Zealand.

In this video, we're going to answer where Old Zealand actually is. And the answer? Well... it's very, very far from New Zealand.

🌏 About OzGeographics
OzGeographics, formally known as Geographics, is an Australian based Youtube channel that releases high quality documentaries in an easy to digest format. We primarily release videos that cover topics in the realm of Earth Sciences or natural disasters, but we also release the odd video here or there that delves into other sciences, or other topics altogether depending on how compelling we find the topic at hand.

Our videos are catered for anyone and everyone, and our goal is to attempt to explain hard to understand events in an easy to digest manner that isn't too "dry" in its presentation.
