    Finally we have arrived! Mt Cook off in the distance clearly the most intimidating peak. Powerfully winding down in front of the mountain a glacier carving a path in the earth although slowly receding and giving a constant reminder of our impact on the planet and its warming temperatures. by: phillwalks Views[189] On the way to Mt Cook the planes meet the mountains rising like an impenetrable wall from the fields stretching out in front of them.

I loved this where the land stretched out and disappeared into the ocean. by: phillwalks Views[203]
