I recall journeying back from a rather disheartening excursion to Mount Cook, where the snow had fallen in relentless torrents, rendering the experience bleak and inhospitable. However, as we descended from the alpine heights and approached the shores of Lake Pukaki, the snow began to ease, as though nature herself had granted a brief reprieve. The lake, famed for its striking glacial blue waters, lies in the heart of the Mackenzie Basin and has long been revered both for its natural grandeur and its role in the hydroelectric schemes of the mid-20th century. It was there, against the backdrop of this storied and serene body of water, that the storm seemed at last to lose its grip.
