Lake Matheson
A magnificent rainforest experience


A walk through the dinosaur forests leads us around this kettle lake providing at times breathtaking reflections and the opportunity to experience he unique sounds of the New Zealand's rain forests.  Photographic opportunities are everywhere.   

Studies:  We can study kettle lakes and the plants of the forests here. 

With superb views of the Southern Alps we can see how snow accumulates and the processes involving glaciation, weather, tectonic uplift and erosion.  There are revealing images of the Australian/Pacific fault line here and its effects on the glacier valleys.
