Southern Alps

The Southern Alps is a mountain range on the South Island of New Zealand. Mount Cook is the highest point, 12,283.3 feet (3,754 m) .

Because of its orientation perpendicular to the prevailing westerly winds, it creates excellent wave soaring conditions for glider pilots. (See Omarama.)
