The Southern Alps is a big mountain range that crosses vertically to the west part of the South island, causing the air coming from theTasman sea to collide against the huge walls, thereby dropping all its moisture on the West Coast. The highest peak is Mount Cook (3754m), and it is a really spectacular experience to pass through the immense plains dug up by the glaciers hundreds of years ago, as well as to notice the impressive height of the mountains around.
