Very interesting page, good information, great pictures. I've always found New Zealand to be very interesting due to the incredible variations and extremes in its geography.

Thanks. It was definitely an amazing place, but frustrating due to really bad weather. We could see the ocean from the summit of Lendenfeld. Pretty amazing.
Very nice page. It's great to see some more Kiwi peaks on SP. I was down in NZ in September for two wonderful weeks. We spent a day or two walking about on the Fox Glacier trying to figure out what mountain was which (I understand you can't see Cook or Tasman from that side very easily). Is Ledenfeld visible from the west?
It depends how high you were on the Fox Glacier. You can definitely see Mt Tasman from the Pioneer Hut. But if you went on one of the glacier walks on the lower, icy part of the glacier, you wouldn't have been able to see it. You can see Mt Cook really well from the summit of Lendenfeld, but I neglected to take a picture, since the cornice was making me nervous..

Untitled CommentGood page. The Southern Alps are great, that is, when the weather co-operates!
