Meet our Glacier Guide, Richard Bottomley. Richard is technically Australian, but he prefers to think of himself as Tasmanian! How long have you been in Aoraki/Mt Cook? I’ve been living and working in Mt Cook since Oct 2018, so over a year now. What do you like most about the Aoraki/Mt Cook region? I still love being able to open the curtains and see New Zealand’s highest peaks and biggest glaciers. As a keen hobby photographer, living in the only Dark Sky Reserve in the southern hemisphere is fantastic for stellar photography! Also, there’s a great community here of year-round residents and seasonal workers. What inspired you to join our team at Mt Cook Glacier Guiding? Coming from a larger guiding company (our sister company, Fox Glacier Guiding), I was keen to be a part of a smaller team, working closely with each other. What inspired you to become a guide in the first place? Basically, a love of the outdoors and wild places. After a while, I found that I enjoyed showing them to other people as well! When you are not working, what do you enjoy doing? Strangely enough, on my days off I like to go back up on the glacier! During winter I can ski the Tasman Glacier and other times of the year there’s climbing, hiking and photography trips. But some days are spent hanging out in the sun in our backyard, listening to the glaciers crash down from the mountains. Richard, we love having you on the team! Thanks for sharing. #mtcookglacierguidingnz #mtcookguidesnz #meettheteam #mountainguide #tasmanglacier #southislandnz #mackenzienz #lovenz

The Southern Alps looking stunning under the moon. This one was taken from Mt Cook Village. You can enjoy these views from pretty much any of the many walks available from town. #mtcookglacierguiding #mtcook #canterburynz #christchurchnz #mackenzienz #purenewzealand #purenz #southisland #southislandnz #beautifuldestinations #travelphotography #walkcanterbury #love_new_zealand #kiwipics #newzealandguide #glacier #glacierguiding #skiplanes #destinationnz #nzmustdo #biaboucinhas
