Aoraki Mt Cook National Park

Aoraki Mount Cook National Park is home to New Zealand’s most ferocious landscapes. The area is punctuated by peaks that rise above the three thousand metre mark, including New Zealand’s highest point; Aoraki Mt Cook. Located in the South Island, the Southern Alps mountain range runs through the centre of the park. In this book you will learn about the mountains and the forces that created them, and read a harrowing story about a hike that turns into a death-defying swim through an avalanche.
