The Southern Alps are the nearly 500 km-long mountainous backbone of New Zealand's South Island. They exisit due to the active convergent boundary between the Pacific and Australian tectonics plates. This boundary is expressed by the Alpine Fault and associated fault systems, and lies on the western side of the alps. This view is looking south along the mountains, on approach into Christchurch Airport, and encomapsses a large part of Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Area.
The prominent river valley is that of the Rakaia River. The Jollie Range lies behind the river. The Butler Range, and numerous glaciers, lies in the centre-right of the image.
The country's highest mountain, Aoraki-Mount Cook (3724 m; the name "Aoraki" is Maori for cloud-piercer), is visible in the right background. Mount Tasman, the country's second-highest mountain (3497 M), lies slightly to the right of Mount Cook.
