Thanks to Alpine Yarns for sharing these amazing photos of a day out with us last week.

We were flying a conservation team doing pest control research around Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. A great opportunity to take the helicopter to some beautiful spots. Love seeing Aoraki reflected in the turquoise Tasman Glacier Lake.
