Aoraki (Mt Cook), Cook Range and Burnett Mountains

From the Mueller Hut in Mt Cook National Park, you get this view across the mountain ranges flanking the Tasman Glacier, crowned by Aoraki (Mt Cook), New Zealand’s highest mountain (3,751m). As the westerly drift hits the main divide of the South Island head-on with clouds and rain, you can experience extreme weather changes here in a very short time.
