I want to go on a mountain-top with a radio and good batteries and play a joyous tune




Meet Mount Cook, which with its 3755 meters, is said to be the highest peak in the Southern Hemisphere.
This mountain is much more than just a mountain.
For Maori land is sacred, even the waters that melt from the glaciers are sacred and special occasions, the Maori have been collecting small amounts which are then transported across the country for use in sacred ceremonies.
The Maori people can not climb Mount Cook, since, according to their tradition, to stay on top of the mountain somehow denigrates his divine being.
The Maori legend which explains the creation of Mount Cook is very nice:

in primordial time, New Zealand did not exist. Raki (the heavenly father) married-your-Nuku Papa (Mother Earth). After marriage, the celestial sons of Raki (from a previous marriage) came down to earth with a canoe (Wako) to honor the father's new wife. After the honors, they could not find the mainland, so they decided to return to their heavenly home. But something did not work and the canoe capsized in the sea, turning into stone and earth. The Maori believe that this very canoe gave rise to the island in the south, which is in fact they also called Te Wako (canoe, in fact). The sons of Raki celestial ascended the highest part of the canoe and were eventually turned to stone: the eldest, Aoraki, Mount Cook became the mountains and his brothers next (Mount Tasman and Mount Dampier). In fact even today is known as Aoraki Mount Cook and I prefer to call it that, in honor of the origins of this land.
Indeed Aoraki inspires awe and fascinated at the same time, it has a sort of inexplicable energy. And it is terribly
first woman.
It is normally surrounded by a number of clouds or mist of some sort (as you can see in the picture)




And as a great leader who decides when to show. There is no holy
taking.
over my head because what is he, Aoraki, who decided to show up (because if he did not put his neck as I got to walk 7 km to the nearest possible andargli)




(and still listen to the entire Homogenic headphones, watching This mountain is priceless)
