World Natural Heritage Site, Matherson Lake on New Zealand's South Island (Lake Matheson) formed 14 thousand years ago, is the product of Fox glacier retreat. It is located in ancient forests, the lake here is pure and sweet. The lake is like a mirror, Perfectly reflected the snowy Cook Mountain (Aoraki Mt Cook). It is five kilometers away from Fox Glacier and is a paradise for photographers. It is not far from Joseph Franz Glacier. We drove from the glacier town to Wanaka in the morning, and went down to Matheson Lake in the middle. It rained the day before yesterday, the ground was a bit muddy, but the air was very fresh and quite comfortable. Because the time was limited, I had to hurry up and walk for a while. It took more than an hour and two hours to swim completely. The Matherson Lake was very calm and the reflection was beautiful. Unfortunately, it was a bit cloudy at the time, if the blue sky was more beautiful!
