Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

Closes yet. I'm not in the upper rees, but I did cross the Rees River in order to climb that mountain in the photo!

Are you looking at mt earnslaw, north of the of kea basin, walking up the route to esquilant bivy?
Bit of a guess, when I was up there earnslaw was hidden by cloud so I never saw what the summit looks like.
I did have to cross the rees to get there though.

Are we meant to naming the place the arrow is pointing at?
Or is it just that you are on the Te Henga Walkway at Raetahinga Point?
Wonderful photo of a fantastic coastline.

Ah, I forgot the lake. Staying in NZ, name both of these lakes:
