Does the land of the long white cloud mean that New Zealand is always covered in cloud?
Aotearoa (the land of the long white cloud) was the name that the original Maori migrants gave to New Zealand, as it was the first indication they had from their canoes that there was land ahead. As a country surrounded by water, New Zealand would have more cloud cover than the interior of large land masses.
