Aoraki Mt Cook Camping

Mt Cook / Fiordland

Mt Cook / Fiordland

FIORDLAND MOUNT COOK

Described by Rudyard Kipling as the ‘eighth wonder of the world’, located in the beautiful Fiordland region of New Zealand, Milford Sound is set within a world heritage region often called the Sightseeing and Walking Capital of the world.

THE GLACIERS

Remnants of the ice age cascade from the snowfields of the Southern Alps to valley floors 300 meters above sea level. Nowhere else in the world’s temperate climates are glaciers so accessible. With glaciers covering nearly half of the Aoraki / Mt Cook area you’ll have plenty of glacial option to choose from.

There are a range of guided excursions available that will provide professional guides who will give full explanations regarding the geological features, flora and fauna of the area.

If seeing the glaciers from above is more to your li,king, there are helicopter and fixed wing aircraft that also provide scenic flights and snow landings amidst New Zealand’s highest peaks, overlooking these glaciers. A range of walks exist, surrounding glaciers in New Zealand that provide excellent points for viewing the glacier as well as exploring the surrounding rainforest environments.

The combination of ice and temperate rainforest is a unique feature of New Zealand’s glacier country, and is an ecosystem found nowhere else in the world.

MILFORD SOUND & FIORDLAND

Described by Rudyard Kipling as the ‘eighth wonder of the world’, located in the beautiful Fiordland region of New Zealand, Milford Sound is set within a world heritage region often called the Sightseeing and Walking Capital of the world.

A range of walks exist, surrounding glaciers in New Zealand that provide excellent points for viewing the glacier as well as exploring the surrounding rainforest environments.

The combination of ice and temperate rainforest is a unique feature of New Zealand’s glacier country, and is an ecosystem found nowhere else in the world.

Franz Josef Glacier

Located in Westland National Park, Franz Joseph glacier is one of New Zealand’s most spectacular natural attractions. It was named by geologist and explorer Julius von Haast in 1863, after the Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

It is the steepest and fastest moving glacier in New Zealand. Measuring 12 kilometer’s long, this 7000 year old body of ice is sliding down a mountain valley into a rainforest. Franz Josef can be safely viewed from as close as 15 metres.

Fox Glacier

At 13 Kilometers long and reaching 300 metres deep, Fox Glacier falls about 2600 metres throughout its journey. Named in 1872 after Sir William Fox, New Zealand’s then Prime Minister, the Fox Glacier is only 25 kilometers from Franz Josef Glacier.

The Fox Glacier township is perhaps a little more laid back, offering a more relaxed atmosphere to soak up the surrounding beauty.

Tasman Glacier

At 27 kilometers long, the Tasman Glacier is an impressive sight.

Landing by small ski plane or helicopter, explore the spectacular ice formations and caverns for an unforgettable experience. From October until May, you can explore the Tasman Glacier’s terminal lake by boat.

The Tasman Glacier in New Zealand is an excellent choice for intermediate skiers, while the Murchison, Darwin and Bonney glaciers promise excitement for advanced skiers.

About New Zealand

North Island, New Zealand

The North Island, is as its name indicates, is the northern-most of New Zealand’s two main islands.

It has a warmer, more temperate climate than much of the South Island, and is much more vastly populated. The North Island is home to NZ’s largest city —Auckland, also known as the ‘City of Sails’, and the Capital City of New Zealand—Wellington.

The northern areas of the North Island are sub-tropical. The centre of the island is primarily a volcanic landscape with expansive forests, volcanic peaks, and picturesque lakes. The eastern side of the island is where you’ll find a plethora of vineyards.

South Island, New Zealand

The South Island is the larger, and southern-most of New Zealand’s two main islands. With an area of 151,215 square kilometers (58,093 square miles), it is the 12th largest island in the world.

The largest city in the South Island is Christchurch and is known as the ‘Garden City’ due to its many stunning gardens and tree-lined streets.

Queenstown, famous as the adventure capital of the world is also found in the South Island

The west coast is lined by the Southern Alps mountain ranges with Aoraki/Mount Cook being the highest point at 3,754 meters (12,316 feet) above sea level.
