The Chatham Islands

The Chatham Islands, New Zealand

The first inhabited place on earth to see each new day, a Moriori history preserved on carved trees found nowhere else, and a remoteness so complete that most New Zealanders have never actually been.

The best time to visit The Chatham Islands is Dec–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 12°C (53°F).
