Land and sky almost seem to combine here in an image that encapsulates all the ferocity of bad weather conditions when they occur far from shelter in the high country.

New Zealand is a small country adrift in the oceans of the South Pacific, and climatic change here, though perhaps less extreme than in continental countries, makes up for it by occurring with extreme speed on occasions. It is mandatory for anyone venturing out into the New Zealand outback, even for a brief period of time, to go prepared for bad weather, even if it never occurs.
