Taken from the Sealy Tarns in Mt. Cook / Aoraki National Park, New Zealand on April 26th, 2012 The trail description didn’t make it sound bad at all: “Track starts out gently then ascends steeply to the Sealy Tarns.” A pretty unassuming description.

Outside the tropics I don’t think I’ve ever seen such power in a rainstorm. Overnight the level of Lake Rotoiti rose at least 3 feet. […]
Taken inside the Fox Glacier, South Island, New Zealand on April 16th, 2012 Glacierology 101: A moulin is a hole carved through a glacier by meltwater. Sometimes a moulin will grow until it becomes a cave in the ice, much like a blue slot canyon. And then, abruptly, the feeder stream will change course, allowing […]
Taken at Hooker Lake in Mt. Cook / Aoraki National Park, New Zealand on April 10th, 2012 A moody, rainy day in Mt Cook National Park made me want to go on a walk. The dramatic clouds and milky glacial runoff lent themselves beautifully to black and white photography.
