Searching for zonation patterns in an alpine environment.

Geography students stayed at Twizel at Lake Ruataniwha and collected climate and vegetation data up the Red Tarns track in Aoraki / Mt Cook, a culturally significant part of Kai Tahu's heritage and a special part of Aotearoa's geography. 

The purpose was to examine zonation patterns in an alpine environment and communicate effectively in teams. We had a fabulous time, highlights included tackling a mountain trail hike, exploring a glaciated valley, a Talent Quest night and students cooking for Miss Munro and Miss Brorens.
