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.
