New Zealand scenery album 2

Photographs of New Zealand scenery taken by various photographs of whom Wheeler & Son and the Burton Brothers are identified.

There are a number of images of Mount Tarawera and surrounds both before and after the eruption on 10th June 1886.

A few other images show the volcanic areas around Whakarewarewa and Wairakei in the North Island; all the rest are in the South Island.

Two interesting images show people transported across wide rivers by flying fox, one with a woman sitting in the `cage', across a river near Lake Wakatipu (probably Deep Creek or the Shotover, near Skippers), and one with two people crossing the Hooker River.

Most of the views of people are distant views, but several near the end of the album show close-up views of men climbing on glaciers with ropes and ice picks.
