Aoraki (Mt. Cook)

We took a 6-mile round trip hike to Hooker Lake.  This is a smallish iceberg (a couple feet above water level) in the lake with Hooker Glacier in the background.  Mt. Cook was hidden from view up and to the right.

Here is a photo of what Mt. Cook looked like today when the fog lifted.

Today we took a boat trip up Tasman Lake to the Tasman Glacier, the largest glacier in NZ.  Here is a photo of a huge iceberg on the lake.  This iceberg is some thirty feet high.

Unfortunately, the glacier was enshrouded by fog.  This photo shows the tip of the glacier showing through the fog.
