5 Dollar Note & Aoraki / Mount Cook

This picture, and the other side of the 5 Dollar Note, were taken during my research trip to New Zealand. We went on a Sunday hike to Aoraki / Mount Cook, with the 5 dollar note featuring the mountain on its front and a scene with a lake and mountains on the back (closest I could find next to Aoraki / Mount Cook was Lake Pukaki). While there we did two hikes, one to the base of Hooker Lake which is a great place to see Aoraki / Mount Cook and another one up to view the Tasman Glacier and Tasman Glacier Lake. A beautiful area and definitely worth visiting, with awesome views and awesome hikes!
