'Landscape & Local Story'

 

Mount Cook 📍, or Aoraki in Māori, is New Zealand’s highest peak at 3,724 meters, rising proudly within the Southern Alps on the South Island. Surrounded by the vast wilderness of Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, its glaciers, alpine meadows, and turquoise lakes such as Pukaki and Tekapo create one of the country’s most iconic landscapes. The mountain has long been a magnet for climbers and adventurers, it was here that Sir Edmund Hillary trained before his historic ascent of Mount Everest. Whether admired from the valley floor or approached on alpine trails, Mount Cook is a symbol of New Zealand’s raw grandeur.

'...In Māori legend, Aoraki was a young boy who, with his brothers, set out on a canoeing journey. When their vessel capsized, they climbed onto its side, where the cold southern wind turned them into stone, their canoe became the South Island, and Aoraki, the tallest of the brothers, became the mountain that still bears his name. Today, the mountain embodies both cultural reverence and natural power: a sacred place to the Ngāi Tahu people, and a world-renowned destination for those seeking awe in the heart of the Southern Alps...'
