What the creator captured
vagabrothers completed the challenging Tongariro Alpine Crossing, reaching a peak altitude of 1,800 meters despite accidentally leaving their sandwiches behind. Alex was particularly struck by the geologically active landscape and the spiritual significance of the 'tapu' volcanic peaks to the Maori people. He emphasized the importance of being over-prepared for the slippery volcanic descent and respecting the park's sacred history.
