Here's a beautiful photo taken from a helicopter above the Dart River west of Mt Earnslaw: https://www.flickr.com/photos/justenoug ... 050565329/

Thanks WFBW,

I was up there a couple of years ago, a stunning area.

Something a bit different, this next photo was taken while walking around a Inuit Village in Greenland, name the village, the only hint will be if you can pronounce the name you will get extra points.

[Tony]

Time for a clue, the village is on the East Coast of Greenland (there are not a lot of villages on the East Coast)

Ittoqqortoormiit looks fairly impossible for English=speaking people to pronounce.

Hi Graham51,

Ittoqqortoormiit is correct, we visited the village a couple of years ago as part of an Arctic boat trip.

your turn.

Canyonlands?

[Graham51]

Canyonlands?

Right state but this is further south. It has a well known name and is owned/managed by the native americans.

Monument Valley

Yes.

Thanks Graham. Still in the US.

Eagle Rock, Pacific Crest Trail

[norts]

That would be it.

[johnw]

That would be it.

Thanks norts, got me wondering how many "Eagle Rock" formations exist around the world. This one looks quite different from the Eagle Rock on the Coast track in Sydney's Royal NP near me. But they both resemble eagles. Coincidental that you posted this while I was considering watching the recently released "Wild" movie tonight on Foxtel about Cheryl Strayed's PCT adventure.

Staying in the USA, in what locality did I encounter this "moose on the loose":

Moose grazing at Spring Creek Ranch below the Teton Range - Jackson Hole, Wyoming USA

Something imposing about this big hollow.

Makes me think of Grand Teton

That will do it eggs, Teton Range in the background. The Grand Teton itself is out of view. I went for a long wander around and beyond the expansive Spring Creek Ranch where we stayed at Jackson Hole below the Tetons, and found this young moose on the way back.

Back to NZ.
Hopefully a quick one. I will be gone for all of July.

I hope you're going somewhere interesting . Taranaki Falls?

[eggs]

Switzerland/Mt Blanc - Taranaki Falls is correct.

Undine Falls ? Never been there but I've got an investigative mind =)

Well investigated Hallu, Undine Falls is correct . Like a number of features in Yellowstone you barely need to leave your car to see these. Your turn to post a photo.

[Hallu]

OK since I do trip reports on almost everything I do, here's a recent one I haven't posted yet. It's in France, and as a hint, I have a big refuge behind me when taking this picture with people getting ready to do some glacier walking. The refuge is quite well known, and is in a National Park.

On the Pyrenees National Park Trek near Refuge Bayssellance?

[Hallu]

Nope, it's in the Alps, and it's not part of a long trek, the refuge is the end of the track, after that it's glacier walking and mountaineering (or alpinism ? I don't know what term the Aussies use).

[MickyB]

Les Bans with Pilatte Refuge behind you?

[Hallu]

Yeah that's correct, Les Bans is the tall mountains on the right (3600+ m), it's a gorgeous place, have you been there ? Your turn.

[MickyB]

Thanks Hallu. I have never been there but it does look nice.

Anyone can post next.
