Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[Tyreless]

The NZ Topo Map shows a walkwire on the creek that flows from the Beetham and Barkley Glaciers just before it reaches the Haupapa Tasman Glacier. Would that be it?

[MountainMadness]

Yes that's it. Yep even NZ topo has it marked! Its over the lower Beetham Valley, not too far from where the old Beetham hut used to be.

Your turn

[Tyreless]

Continuing with the glacial theme (but on the other side of the world), where is my son skipping stones:

[wayno]

um, in the water...

[Tyreless]

Indeed...

It's in Iceland, no joke.

[wayno]

any photos around Katla, since its rumbling and supposed to be due to blow?

[Tyreless]

I didn't get up there. But the photo above is about 150km east of Katla.

[wobbly]

Jökulsárlón Lagoon. Though with far fewer icebergs than I recall

[Tyreless]

That's it. There were more icebergs near the road bridge. Over to you, wobbly.

[wobbly]

tks Tyreless-
Meanwhile in the US of A

[johnw]

I know there are a few areas in the west with features like this. I'll take a guess at Monument Valley.

[wobbly]

No its not Monument Valley

[MountainMadness]

Haven't been there but it looks like the great rock climbing area of Arches NP.

[wobbly]

Yes MM has it. Park Avenue in Arches National Park.

[MountainMadness]

Lets move back to South America.

Name either the mountain left in background, or the town below.

[MountainMadness]

It's in Peru

[wobbly]

I'm going to guess at Cusco - the airport runway is surrounded by housing much like in your photo, although I can't recall the snow capped mountains.

[MountainMadness]

Yes it's Cusco. On an unusually clear evening I climbed to a viewing point on the range skirting the northern edge of the city and got a relatively rare clear view of Nevado Auzangate

[wobbly]

Thanks MM

This next one is also in South America - but not Peru

[north-north-west]

That's a marvellous image, wobbly.

[wobbly]

Thanks NNW. The dusting of snow courtesy of a very chile night helped.

[RonK]

Torres del Paine perhaps?

[wobbly]

Your getting warmer- or should that be colder. Try further south than TDP.

[wobbly]

Time for a clue. this photo is taken from the second nights campsite on a recognised teeth chatteringly cold walk. The name of the walk and the mountain range are the same. Name either for the win.

[MountainMadness]

I'll have to assume you dropped a nice subtle teeth hint - so I'll have to go with Dientes Circuit. Haven't been that far south but there is no way I'll go back to South America without visiting Patagonia!

[wobbly]

Phew Thanks MM, I thought I'd blown it. Yes its the Dientes Circuit on Ilsa Navarino. Apparently the most southerly bushwalk on the planet and worth every bit of the effort it takes to get there. Whilst you can fly there the 30 hour ferry ride from Punt Arenas to Puerto Williams or back is pretty damn amazing too.

Over to you.

[MountainMadness]

Yep cool I'll put it on my wish list....

Back to NZ

[wayno]

yeah. a little water feature i knocked up in a hurry...

[MountainMadness]

Thought this would be picked up quickly....

The falls are on the South Island, but weren't there 100 years ago.
