What is recorded here

South Island is the larger of New Zealand's two main islands, spanning 150,437 square kilometres and holding 24% of the nation's people. The Southern Alps carve its spine, with Aoraki / Mount Cook rising to 3,724 metres above the Canterbury Plains and the rough West Coast. Kāi Tahu, Kāti Māmoe and Waitaha shaped Te Waipounamu before British settlers arrived, while Dunedin later boomed during the Otago gold rush.
South Island is recorded as a islet in County Down. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
