Story

O Monte Cook/Aoraki - Mount Cook em inglês e Aoraki em maori, cujo nome oficial é Mount Cook/Aoraki - é uma montanha nos Alpes do Sul no centro da Ilha Sul, e a mais alta montanha da Nova Zelândia. Destino popular entre turistas, é também um destino favorito para os montanhistas aventureiros. O Glaciar Tasmânia e o Glaciar Hooker fluem em suas encostas.Com o acordo entre os Kāi Tahu e a Coroa em 1998, o nome da montanha foi oficialmente modificado para Monte Cook/Aoraki, incorporando assim o seu nome original, Aoraki. Além da montanha, outras localidades tiveram o nome inglês modificado para seu correlativo māori. Nos termos do acordo, a Coroa também concordou em retornar a posse da montanha aos Kāi Tahu, que formalmente a entregou de volta ao país.LocalizaçãoA montanha está localizada nos limites do Parque Nacional Monte Cook/Aoraki. O parque foi criado em 1953 e é, junto com o Parque Nacional West, Patrimônio Mundial. O parque possui mais de 140 picos que ultrapassam 2000 m, e há 72 glaciares cobrem cerca de 40% dos 700 km² do parque.O acampamento Vila Mount Cook serve aos turistas como base para a montanha. Fica a 4 km do Glaciar Tasmânia, e 12 km ao sul do pico do Monte Cook/Aoraki.FormaçãoOs Alpes do Sul, onde fica o monte, são formados pela movimentação de placas tectônicas entre as placas do oceano Pacífico e Austrália-Índia ao longo da costa oeste. O monte continua subindo cerca de 7 mm a cada ano, mas as erosões em suas encostas dificultam o aumento da sua altura. O clima severo deve-se à localização do monte próximo ao paralelo 45ºS, caracterizado por fortes ventos.

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!
