Aoraki Mount Cook





One of Frank's 35mm colour slides: Aoraki Mount Cook, South Island New Zealand.  Height 3,754m = 12,316.3 feet. The photo was taken from Hooker Valley and below is a map showing the location.

Many of Frank's slides and negatives are not named and some have been scanned wrong way round. I initially thought it might be Mount Aspiring, but when I did a search on the internet I could clearly see the outline of Aoraki but that it just needed to be flipped. And when I did there it was! Our tallest mountain.
