Lake Matheson - 🇳🇿 New Zealand Lake Matheson is a lake near Fox Glacier in South Westland, New Zealand. It is famous for its mirror reflection of Aoroki/Mount Cook and Mount Tasman, New Zealand’s two highest peaks. Organic matter from the surrounding native forest leaches into the water creating the dark reflective surface, which on a calm day with no wind, provides the most stunning views. Even if you don’t get perfect conditions, it only takes roughly an hour and a half to walk around the lake, and you can still have an amazing experience with some beautiful nature to see! Fun fact: Lake Matheson was former just 14,000 years ago when Fox Glacier retreated and left a depression which later filled with water. #lakematheson #foxglacier #aoroki #mountcook #mounttasman #newzealand #southisland #southislandnz #reflection #lake #mirrorlake #nature #trees #mountains #visitnewzealand #wheretovisit #travel #travelguide #discovermoretravels #travelinspiration #travelinfo #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelgram #travelholic #beautifuldestinations #exploremore #worlderlust #ilovetravel (at Lake Matheson) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7B2zuTA2Ly/?igshid=1fb7hby36zmi4

Aoroki/Mount Cook - 🇳🇿 New Zealand Aoroki, or Mount Cook, is the highest mountain in New Zealand, found in the Southern Alps on the South Island. A popular destination for hikers and mountains climbers, a small, isolated village provides accommodation just 15km south of the peak and just 7km away from the Tasman Glacier. It’s an easy hike directly to the glacier, with an iceberg containing lake before it acting as a natural safety barrier. I can not recommend this stop enough, the scenery is beyond compare. Towering mountains, impressive glaciers and beautiful lakes mixed with the tranquility of isolation lead to the most incredible experience. Fun fact: The Aoroki/Mount Cook National Park contains more than 140 peaks over 2,000 meters as well as 72 named glaciers, which cover 40% of the park! #aoroki #mountcook #southernalps #southislandnz #newzealand #southisland #nationalpark #glacier #hiking #mountains #mountainclimbing #nature #ontheroad #whataview #wheretovisit #travel #travelguide #discovermoretravels #travelinspiration #travelinfo #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelgram #travelholic #beautifuldestinations #exploremore #worlderlust #ilovetravel (at Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5p6dyylBnT/?igshid=g5zlyi2h7j0a
