Lake Matheson - New Zealand's Unique Mirror Lake

Located in the heart of the landscape, Lake Matheson is a tranquil body of water with mirror-like properties that reflects the surrounding mountains, sky and forests. The lake is often calm, especially in the early morning and late evening, creating the perfect conditions for capturing stunning reflections. Dominating the horizon are the towering peaks of Mount Cook (Aoraki) and Mount Tasman, the tallest mountains in New Zealand. Their snow-capped peaks often form a spectacular backdrop to the lake's reflective surface. The mountains are part of the Southern Alps, a striking mountain range that runs the length of the South Island Lake Matheson is accessible by driving along the road from the nearby town of Fox Glacier, which has a car park and cafe. The lake is part of the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Area, recognised for its outstanding natural beauty and biodiversity. #lakematheson #newzealandtrip
