Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[johnw]

Lake Wainamu

[ribuck]

That's it, johnw. Also known as "the lake at Bethells Beach". A great spot for a freshwater swim.

[johnw]

Thanks ribuck, my experience of the north island is minuscule, hopefully broadened eventually.

Where/what am I hiking up in North America recently:

[ribuck]

Ae you heading up Mt Elbert in Colorado?

Ae you heading up Mt Elbert in Colorado?

It is in the USA but I'm very distant from Colorado.

Further visual clues from higher up on the trail:

Looking west from the North Face hiking trail on the Mt Alyeska massif, Chugach Range via Girdwood, Alaska USA

[johnw]

This trail has the same starting point as the last US hike pics I posted recently.

[johnw]

Lot of looks, anyone playing?

[wobbly]

Pulls out the defibrillator and dials it up to Mt Alyeska. ?

Thanks for playing wobbly, I was wondering if the crickets would stop chirping . Yes that will do it.
I'm climbing the North Face hiking trail which finishes at the upper tram (cable car) terminal.
My knees thanked me afterwards as you can get a free ride back down if you hike up the 2.2 miles/2,000 feet elevation gain (will the US ever go metric?).
Mt Alyeska/Alyeska Peak high point is well above and behind me. I don't think it's accessible on foot but I did hike up to the glacier below it on a different day.

[wobbly]

Thanks John
Anyone can go. Else i'll post something on the w/e

[wobbly]

Ok something from the UK. What am i looking at here?

[johnw]

I think this has become a two man show wobbly.
Trying to narrow it down, looks like you are in the Lakes District?

[wobbly]

Yes John
It is in the Lake district, - but where?

Surprise View looking over Derwent Water

[wobbly]

That's it eggs. With Catbells in view on the other side of the lake.
Over to you.

Shifting to Africa

Twin peaks of Mt Kenya

[pazzar]

Mt Kenya?

[eggs]

Yes - I have limited peak options for Afica

[pazzar]

It was still a wild guess.

My international photos are very limited at the moment. So in Europe again - what peak is this clown on? (It is the highest in this particular country)

Zla Kolata?

[pazzar]

Yep! I need to go overseas again to get some more photos!

North America:

Johns Hopkins Glacier, Glacier Bay NP Alaska USA

[ribuck]

Glacier Bay, Alaska

[johnw]

Glacier Bay, Alaska

You've narrowed it down well but that's a very large area. Looking for the name of this significant glacier.
Clues - it is still advancing and can't be approached by maritime traffic for part of each year.

[johnw]

Two plurals in its name.

[ribuck]

That's a pretty solid clue - Johns Hopkins glacier.

[johnw]

That's a pretty solid clue - Johns Hopkins glacier.

That's it ribuck. We were there literally a day or two after the seasonal exclusion period to protect the harbour seal colony breeding in Johns Hopkins Inlet.
Saw an abundance of seals and other wildlife. The advancing tidewater glacier was stunning, calving thunderously several times while we looked on.

[ribuck]

Thanks Johnw.

My photo is also in North America.

[johnw]

If my research is correct this rock formation is just to the left of Delicate Arch in Arches NP, Utah. Looks like a stunning place to visit.
