Mountain Grandeur in the Arthur's Pass National Park, New Zealand (Photos by courtesy of the Canterbury Mountaineering Club.) The Arthur's Pass National Park, 87 miles by rail from Christchurch (South Island), is perhaps unrivalled a where in the world for the magnificence of its mountain, gorge and forest scenery. This great scenic won-derland is being increasingly popularised by the Railway Department's cheap week-end excursions (among the most successful of their kind in New Zealand) and by members of the Canterbury Mountaineering Club, whose efforts to make the attractions of the Park more widely known are in every way laudable. The illustrations shew: (1) Panorama from Mt. Gizeh. (2) Mt. Davie (7,490ft.). (3) Mt. Rolleston. (4) Mts. Rosamund and Marion with the Cronin ice-fall. (5) The Westland bluffs of Carrington peak. (6) Climbing party on the summit of Mt. Gizeh. (7) Looking up the Anti-Crow River. (8) The watershed of the Deception and Mingha Rivers.
