The First New Year Sun Island In The World

Many regions do not hesitate to change time zones to become the first place to welcome the new year in the world. However, the place that actually won the title was on the Chatham Islands, New Zealand. 650 km to the east. Of the 11 islands of Chatham, only two inhabited islands are Chatham Island and Pitt Island. According to the US Navy, Kahuitara Peak on Pitt Island is the first inhabited spot in the world to catch the sun on January 1 every year, at 4:50 local time, in front of mainland New Zealand 45 minute

. The race to win the title of the first place to welcome the sunrise of the new year takes place between many regions and is controversial. In the 1990s, Kiribati once shifted its international date further east to confirm the Caroline Islands (pictured) as the first place in the world to enter the new millennium. However, Pitt Island welcomed the New Year 25 minutes earlier than Kiribati
Since then, many islands in the Pacific have tried to win the title but with no success.

Both Samoa and Tokelau skipped December 20, 2011 when switching to New Zealand's date line, but still behind Gisborne - the first city to welcome the New Year sun. The Chatham Islands have long been famous for their unique natural scenery and flora and fauna, a popular destination for cinematographers, photographers and nature lovers. Each region in Chatham has its own characteristics, from sand dunes, basalt rock columns, to hills or difficult terrain. It is home to many endemic birds. The archipelago also has many impressive monuments, showing a long history, since the Moriori people set foot here about 1,000 years ago. Today, about 600 people live on Chatham Island, and 40 people have settled on Pitt Island. The main industry here is fishing, tourism, planting and exploitation of forests
Visitors can travel to Chatham Island by air from New Zealand's major airports, but can only go to Pitt Island by ship or small plane.
