Sealy Tarns is a small flat area on the Mueller Ridge that is accessible from the Hooker Valley and Mount Cook Village via a blazed DOC track. The track is extremely steep and features many switchbacks and steps built of large timber anchored into the ground. The area features a tarn (hence its name), an area suitable for tobogganing on the side of the ridge, and an excellent view of The Footstool, Aoraki/Mount Cook, both Hooker and Mueller Glaciers and their respective glacial lakes, and Mount Cook Village. == Panoramic overview == This combined-image panorama was taken in the Winter of 2007 in the afternoon. From left-to-right the notable features are: * The blazed track further up the ridge to Mueller Hut * A snow-covered area with toboggan tracks * Two DOC signs indicating the tarns area with the tarns themselves snow-covered in the background * The Footstool * A single wooden park bench (presumably maintained by DOC) is barely visible at the top of the small hill to the right of the tarns * In center of frame, top-to-bottom: * * Aoraki/Mount Cook * * Terminal face and glacial lake of Hooker Glacier * * Terminal face and glacial lake of the Mueller Glacier (compare to taken two years prior) * The Mt Cook valley, the village itself is hidden behind the ridge on the right 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sealy Tarns」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
