New Zealand From A Train
From Friday 16 June 7:30 PM (2 parts)
There are three major scenic rail routes in New Zealand. The Northern Explorer running between Auckland and Wellington, the Coastal Pacific running between Picton and Christchurch and the TranzAlpine between Christchurch and the wild, rugged West Coast
There is hardly a railroad network in the world which has been faced with such daunting construction challenges as the 4,000 kilometres of the rail network in New Zealand. This small island nation offers the scenic diversity of an entire continent - subtropical, high alpine, rain forests, oceans, volcanoes, and grasslands and the rail network runs much of it.

In the fishing town of Ilulissat we sample the local cuisine and ancient crafts, then onto the beautiful lake of Tasersuatsiaq, home to the giant muskox, a specialised survivor from the Ice Age.
