West Coast

The West Coast of the South Island is home to many of the finest examples in New Zealand of untouched wilderness ecosystems that run uninterrupted from the crest of the Southern Alps down to the wild Tasman Sea. Five of New Zealand's national parks - all of Westland/Tai Poutini and Paparoa, and parts of Kahurangi, Mount Aspiring and Fiordland - fall within the boundary of the West Coast, and include such well known drawcards as the the "pancake rocks" at Punakaiki, and the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers in South Westland. The photography found in this book covers all of these remarkable features of the West Coast, as well as its more remote, but equally breathtaking, landscapes.
