Hutt
Vlley Traming Club) doing some ice
climbing as part of an alpine instruction course near the summit of
Mount Ruapehu.
Powell Hutt at the time of it's
opening in March, 2000. Powelle Hut is located high up on Mount
Holdsworth, in the eastern Tararu Ranges, North Island, New Zealand.
This is typical of the mountain accomadation provided for trampers
(hikers) in the mountain areas of New Zealand. Accommadation is
usually spartin but very functional and cosey.
Muller Tarn, in the Freyberg Range,
South Island, New Zealand. The photo was taken in October 1999. At
the time there had just been a snowfall, some of which is still
visible in the photo. The trees on the left are beech (Nothofagus)
trees. The tarn (mountain lake) lies at the edg of the tree
line.
Mount Technical veiwed from the
Freyberg Range at dawn at October, 1999. Low morning cloud and fog
fills the valley leading up to the Lewis Pass.
This is typical New Zealand bush.
Someone seems to have had the energy to carry a roadsign up the
hill.
This is the summit od Kapakapanui, a
3000 foot peak in the southern Tararua Ranges in the southern North
Island of New Zealand.
This is a wide angle shot of the
Tararua Ranges as seen from the summit of Kapakapanui. In this view
we are looking north with Mitere Peak in the distance on the middle
left and Mount Hector (with a small amount of snow on it) on the
right (above and slightly to the left of the tree stump in the
foreground). The Tararua Ranges are a favorite recreational tramping
(hiking) area for many people. shot of the western margin of Tasman
Bay, which is in the northern South Island, near Nelson. The current
shot is looking north. The location is about 10km north of
Motueka.
