Tongariro Crossing/Kaikoura/Catlins/Julian discovers new setting on camera

Meaghan at the top of Mount Luxmore.

At Southernmost point of the South Island, some of the highest wind speeds experienced.




Coastline at Nugget Point in the Catlins region.



Lazy (insert day of week here) for Mr. Fur Seal.



Crater of Mt. Ngauruhoe (aka Mt. Doom for LOTR fans)... I think I saw something shinning in at the bottom... maybe the ring wasn´t destroyed after all.


Relaxing at the top of Mt. Ngauruhoe, it was the most exhausting climb I´ve ever done... very steep uphill for an hour on volcanic ash.

Doesn´t look as bad from this picture but looks can be deceiving... very deceiving.



One of the craters along the way.

Emerald lakes along the Tongariro Crossing.
