This image shows one of the unique details of the New Zealand landscape. There are many aspects of New Zealand that are distinctive to this island country. It can be a magical place, both serene and sublimely foreign at the same time. Its unique elements are a common source of artistic inspiration and this image is born of that spirit.

There are 2 places in the world where a glacier exists at sea level. This is one of them. The glacier is seen in the bottom right corner and closer inspection finds hikers in purple parkas. The mountain stream leads to a rainforest that is an hour hike away from the foot of the glacier. This ominous sight faithfully captures the feelings one has during a day-long hike on a mountain of ice.
