Flying further up the valley — past Mount Chudleigh and its associated glaciers on the Malte Brun Range to the right of the skiplane; and past the awesome spectacle of Aoraki-Mount Cook, Mount Dampier and Mount Tasman (NZ's three highest mountains) with the Grand Plateau and the Freshfield Glacier below; then past De La Beche Corner and the Rudolf Glacier rising up to the Graham Saddle (the top of the Franz Josef Glacier is on the other side of that saddle); then past the awesome glacial icefalls below Mount De La Beche, The Minarets and Mount Gold Smith towards the upper valley.



The Malte Brun Range with Mount Chudleigh prominent and the Barkley, Langdale and Walpole Glaciers on the western side of the range above the Tasman Glacier opposite the Grand Plateau — photo taken at 10:37am on Easter Monday, 24th March 2008.
