Wakatipu

Majestic Remarkables Mountains on the southern edge of Lake Wakatipu near Queenstown in the Central Otago district of South Island (NZ) during autumn, awaiting for winter to cover its bare peak with snow.

According to Maori legends Lake Wakatipu was formed when a giant sank into the ground forming a giant crater that was later filled with water. ‘Waka’ in local Maori tongue means ‘trough’ and ‘Tipu (or Tipua) means enchanted being, or a giant in this case.
