Mount Taranaki Milky Way; Fanthams Peak, Mount Taranaki, New Zealand. “This is one of the most challenging shots I have ever captured, as it required climbing for four hours in 70km/h winds to reach the ice summit of Fanthams Peak – a volcano on the side of Mount Taranaki. At an elevation of 2000 metres and -15C outside with gusty wind blasts, I had to choose settings that would get me the capture rather than what I may have considered more ideal settings. I am so stoked to have captured what I did under perfect clear skies, as it was both a true test of both mountaineering and endurance carrying all my gear to this location, but one I will look back on with pride and success”.
