New Zealand is most known for its host of natural wonders, but not everyone of us has been lucky enough to witness them for ourselves. Until now.

These photographs are from the production of a BBC television mini-series called New Zealand: Earth's Mythical Islands, which premiered in the UK on Tuesday.

Narrated by actor Sam Neill, you'll catch glimpses of Snares Islands penguins waddling along a coast, sheep assembling along the country's lush greenery and serene mountains that "the land of the long white cloud" seems to be abounded with.

Just take us there already, please.

Although there are 60,000 snares penguins, they are considered vulnerable, largely due to their breeding colonies being restricted to one small island group. Image: BBC/Mark MacEwen
