because the world is a globe, new zealand is actually not too far from alaska in relative terms. but i understand your point because the world map is typically portrayed as picrel

iberia is in fact roughly exactly on the other side of the world as new zealand (in other words, iberia is as far away from new zealand as you can get on the earth)

crazy to also think that both new zealand and alaska were both conquered and settled by white people lol
