Reference: DCDL-0015397

Description: Mount Hutt is made higher by a huge crowd of shrieking and yelling skiers in an attempt to win the debate over which is New Zealand's highest mountain. Refers to an incident in early August, when wild weather, including winds of 200 kilometres an hour, closed the field at Mount Hutt, leaving up to 1200 skiers, including 300 school children, camped in the cafeteria on top of the mountain overnight; it was reported to have been pretty good but very noisy. In fact Aoraki/Mount Cook is the highest mountain; the mountain's height was established in 1881 by G. J. Roberts (from the west side) and in 1889 by T. N. Brodrick (from the Canterbury side). Their measurements agreed closely at 12,349 feet (3,764 m). The height was reduced by 10 metres (33 ft) when approximately 10 million cubic metres of rock and ice fell off the northern peak on 14 December 1991. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
