Heather Shearer, Sunrise over Ruapehu (PLACES WILDERNESS 2024)

I took this in December 2023 while doing the Tongariro Northern Circuit. It was the final day, and the weather report predicted -9 windchill factor, so I left the hut really early (before dawn) and managed to catch the sunrise over the maginicent Mt Ruapehu.
