Mount Cook National Park

Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park - the pearl of New Zealand - is where you find Aoraki/Mount Cook, the New Zealand's highest mountain

 

The park stretches for about 60 kilometres along the southwest-northeast direction of the Southern Alps, covering over 700 sq km on the southeastern side of the main spine of the Alps. The valleys of the Tasman, Hooker, and Godley glaciers are the only entrances into this alpine territory
