New Zealand back in 2005

What an amazing view from the top of the Remarkables in Queenstown. The hike up there was breathtaking! Up to 2343 metres high, the Remarkables are one in only two mountain ranges in the world that run exactly north-south. The other one are the Rocky Mountains in North America.

The wrinkly and rocky face of the zig-zaggy shaped range is unique and easily recognizable, and it appears many times in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
