Arthur's Pass National Park New Zealand

I took this picture in the Arthur’s Pass National Park, on the Avalanche Peak track. This track was one of the most beautiful tracks I have ever done in my life! The views that were revealed to me where breathtaking. When you get all the way to the top of the Avalanche Peak, you have a 360 degree view of the surrounding mountains, and on your way up there you get great views of the valleys below. On the top I also encountered many Keas, and if you are not familiar with these birds, look for my next photo of the week!

Pupu Springs South Island New Zealand

Pupu Springs is a short for Waikoropupu. These springs are located in the South Island of New Zealand, west of Nelson, near Takaka. Pupu Springs are famous for their crystal clear waters. The water is so clear that you can see to the depth of about 30 meters from the surface!
The water that comes up from the underground forming the Pupu Springs, originates in the virgin forests many miles from here, where the water filters into underground Karst limestone river system. This water resurfaces in Pupu Springs and further out in the sea.

Frantz Josef Glacier South Island New Zealand

This photo was taken from the walk towards the terminal of the Frantz Josef Glacier. The whole walk up there is very beautiful. You also get to see a beautiful (not very big though) waterfall on the right side of the walk. The whole rock structure there is magnificent since it was shaped by the retreating glacier.
