Mount Cook A Glacial Swim

March 10, 2015 By Charlotte Brynn

Mount Cook Brynnswim

Charlotte Cook Strait

Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest mountain, at 3,754 meters, it is the center piece of the snow capped southern alps, looking at Mount Cook, can only be described by me with a few powerful words, jaw dropping, Awe Inspiring, and breathtaking, these are the very words I think, as I swim at the base of this beast of a mountain, the cool, turquoise waters of Lake Pukaki wrap around me as I swim, but I’m not thinking about my stroke, or the cool water, my eyes are laser focused on getting a glimpse of Mount Cook, standing tall at the head of the lake, a polaroid view, everytime I take a breath. What a memorable experience, and one all the more powerful to share with my 82 year old, active, positive and good natured Dad, Dad this ones for you.

Next stop, Wellington, New Zealand, Cook Strait, it’s time.
