We Went Up The Forgotten Route To NZ’s Unknown Lake
A remote off-track traverse through the mountains above the Dart River, our the back of Queenstown in New Zealand’s South Island. In this video we climb a steep dry creek route to reach Lake Unknown, an isolated alpine lake hidden beneath Mount Nox and Mount Chaos, before continuing cross-country through unmarked terrain and descending into the Rockburn Valley on the other side.No trail. No huts. Just route finding through some of New Zealand’s wildest mountain country. 1st trip into Lake Unknown: • Nobody Thought This Route Would Work: To T... 2nd trip into Lake Unknown: • This Lake Was Left Off The Maps Stunning photography at the campsite by @line_dogs / line_dogs Filmed in Otago / Mt Aspiring, New Zealand.
