Story

L'Aoraki/mont Cook est le point culminant de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Il fait partie des Alpes du Sud et culmine à d'altitude, au-dessus du glacier Tasman. Il se situe dans le parc national Aoraki/Mount Cook. Son nom combine depuis 1998 celui de la légende māori et celui rendant hommage à James Cook. Le sommet est gravi pour la première fois en 1894 par Tom Fyfe, George Graham et Jack Clarke.ToponymiePendant longtemps, Aōraki a été interprété comme une déformation linguistique d’Aorangi qui peut être traduit par « perce-nuages », de ao le « monde, journée, nuage... » et rangi le « jour, ciel, temps... ». Il s'agit en fait d'un nom prénom māori de l'iwi Ngāi Tahu.Le nom anglais mont Cook est donné en 1851 par le capitaine John Lort Stokes en l'honneur du navigateur James Cook qui fut le premier à explorer les côtes de la Nouvelle-Zélande en 1770. Cook décrivit les Alpes du Sud mais n'aperçut pas la montagne.

My favourite place ever. Honestly don't miss out on ticking this off on your bucket list
Cold but beautiful
Even very beautiful in summer
It's stunning.
Any questions for this place ?
I never regret going into this beautiful scenery
Definitely worth the climb to the McDonald’s at the summit. They didn’t have any barbecue sauce for our nuggets though, but the view of the glaciers from the top made up for it! Thoroughly recommended!
