Jess Charlesworth, Aoraki Spectacle (LANDSCAPE 2026)

After spending the night in Mueller Hut, we were greeted by a hazy pink sunrise, scattering light across glaciers and some of the tallest peaks in New Zealand. Fellow trampers gathered along the plateau edge, while others peered from their tents to witness the moment. If you look closely, you can spot a bright blue tent in the bottom left corner.
