A postage-stamp shot
Their glistening caps reflected in dark water, Aoraki and Mount Tasman complete one of the most famous sights in a country defined by incredible views. On a clear day, you can't beat the reflections seen in Lake Matheson for picture perfection. New Zealanders have celebrated the spectacle since at least the 1940s, when a postage stamp featuring this very scene first began circulating. Its renown has since spread far and wide, and a steady stream of tourists makes this 14,000-year-old lake the most photographed in New Zealand.
