Happy New Year Kiribati and New Zealand

Kiritimati Atoll, part of the beautiful island nation of Kiribati, was the first place on Earth to welcome 2024! This Pacific paradise, also known as Christmas Island, is made up of 33 atolls scattered across a vast area of the equatorial Pacific Ocean, stretching nearly 4,000 kilometres from east to west and over 2,000 kilometres from north to south. ️

Kiritimati atoll, Kiribati

With stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush greenery, it is a true gem of the Pacific. Its rich culture and friendly people make it an unforgettable destination for any traveler.

Following closely behind Kiribati was New Zealand, which rang in the new year at 11:00 GMT. ?? Both countries offer stunning scenery and unique experiences for those looking to celebrate the start of a new year in style.

I hope you had a wonderful New Year’s Eve, no matter where you were in the world!

Here are some additional facts about Kiribati that you might find interesting:

  • The country is home to the world’s only inhabited atoll that straddles the equator (Kiritimati atoll).
  • Kiribati is one of the lowest-lying countries in the world, and is therefore very vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
  • The national language of Kiribati is Gilbertese, although English is also spoken widely.
  • The currency of Kiribati is the Australian dollar.
