Photo: New Zealand Scenery Mt Cook Lake Pukaki

The scenery from above the unique blue colored Lake Pukaki on the South Island of New Zealand is spectacular with Mt. Cook and the Southern Alps adorning the backdrop.

From above Lake Pukaki on the South Island of New Zealand you can see across the horizon to the beautiful snow covered peaks of Mt. Cook and the Southern Alps. This picture almost seems too unique to be true, but it is a actual photograph of the scenery that surrounds the South Island.

Lake Pukaki has an extraordinary blue coloring to its water as it is glacial fed and spans an area of about eighty square kilometers at 480 meters above sea level.

Across the lake, a small island sits off the jetty and then the land increases immensely in height as Mt. Cook and the Southern Alps rise above the lake. Pukaki Lake and Lake Tekapo are very important to the New Zealand community as they provide over half of New Zealand's hydroelectricity storage capacity. ... continue below the picture...
