Mt Brewster (7813 ft) and its 2-kilometre-long, very picturesque, “fairyland”, glacier located on the Main Divide between Mt Cook in the north and Mt Aspiring in the south (see image 39). In this view the cavernous exit of the glacial melt-waters is seen forming the stream which passes westward to the small glacier lakes which end in a 900 metre cataract eventually entering the Haast River on the West. The striking rusty iron-stone stratification in the foreground is a strong feature of much of the base-rock south of the Brewster Glacier lakes. The black stripe running to the snout of the glacier terminal face is made up of rock debris forming the median moraine.
