Day 74 - Mount Cook

Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest peak in New Zealand, reaching 3,754 meters (12,316 ft). It has three summits and two glaciers (the Tasman to the east and the Hooker to the west).  Along with and the surrounding mountains, it is incredibly beautiful and impressive, especially from the Tasman glacier valley.  We drove up the valley late in the afternoon in a heavy fog. The next morning sunrise is the first picture below.
