The lake is coloured by sediment called 'rock flour' which was created when the lake base was gorged out by a stoney bottomed glacier. No special effects were used!!

Mount Cook
The mighty Mt Cook at 3755m is the highest peak in Austalasia. No - before you ask, we didn't climb it! Just looking at it is enough, it's a wonderful sight with glorius surrounding landscape and a lake (Pukaki) with the most beautiful blue colour.
