birds eye view of mountain coated by snow

On our 3.5 hour drive to Mt Cook, we were surrounded by rain clouds and fog with poor visibility. We considered many times to turn around rather than waste the time driving there if we weren’t going to see anything - we had heard it was unseeable when the weather gets bad, but this was our last day in New Zealand if we were going to see it. We decided to persevere and kept driving, keeping faith that it would clear up. Only within the last 2kms of driving, it did, the sun came out the clouds cleared. It was so worth it. What a mountain. Always keep the faith.
