Lake Pukaki & Mt. Cook, South Island, New Zealand [OC] [2847x1868] EarthPorn
The best place to see Lake Pukaki is on the road between Twizel (or just outside Twizel) and Mount Cook. You'll also see it a lot on the road between Lake Tekapo and that turnoff to Mount Cook, but it's a little less photogenic on that stretch. Lake Pukaki ( Māori: Pūkaki) [4] [5] [6] is the largest of three roughly parallel alpine lakes running north-south along the northern edge of the Mackenzie Basin on New Zealand's South Island. The others are Lakes Tekapo and Ōhau. All three lakes were formed when the terminal moraines of receding glaciers blocked their respective valleys. Lake Pukaki is located in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand, right in the heart of the stunning Mackenzie Basin. It is the largest of the three alpine lakes in the area, with Lake Tekapo to the east and Lake Ōhau to the west. #6 of 515 things to do in Canterbury Region Bodies of Water Write a review What people are saying By Dan " Great Swim Spot!
