Game: Where-is-it? (international)

Brewster Glacier

[wildwanderer]

Edit. Still thinking

[icefest]

Could be in the upper rees, towards the saddle?

Closes yet. I'm not in the upper rees, but I did cross the Rees River in order to climb that mountain in the photo!

Brewster Glacier

Not brewster. In fact, brewster is going too far away.

[wayno]

pick a spur the edge of an nz glacier or neve that terminates on tussock and name it.... theres no more than a thousand or so....

[wildwanderer]

Are you looking at mt earnslaw, north of the of kea basin, walking up the route to esquilant bivy?

Bit of a guess, when I was up there earnslaw was hidden by cloud so I never saw what the summit looks like.

I did have to cross the rees to get there though.

Are we meant to naming the place the arrow is pointing at?
Or is it just that you are on the Te Henga Walkway at Raetahinga Point?
Wonderful photo of a fantastic coastline.

[wayno]

[eggs]

Only got to Piha, but that walk looks like a good one.

It was a great walk

[johnw]

I've not done it but I believe this could be overlooking the Valley of the Trolls on the Routeburn Track?

[eggs]

It is indeed John. The Water is Lake Harris

[johnw]

Ah, I forgot the lake. Staying in NZ, name both of these lakes:

Overlooking Lake Dispute and Lake Wakatipu from the Lake Dispute Track, via Queenstown, Otago New Zealand
