Making New Zealand vol 01 no 01: The Beginning

This scraper-board diagram shows the origin of a mountain such as Mount Cook. Cirques (armchair-like hollows) have been, enlarged until they met in converging ridges, which are worn away until a sharp peak is left. Geologists foretell that some day Mount Cook will be reduced to the fragment shown at the bottom of the diagram
