  • NEW ZEALAND NOTES·, 1954-5 by DAVID HALL
    • NEW ZEALAND NOTES, 1954-5 39 1 . NEW ZEALAND NOTES·, 1954-5 By DAVID HALL HE last climbing season was notable for two things : first, the early disappearance of snow providing in early January conditions which might have been expected six weeks later ; second, the high death roll in accidents. A consequence of the lack of snow was that much rock was exposed which would have been concealed at a normal Christmas season and many slopes were uncompromisingly hard ice which would normally · have been steep, firm snow; everyone in fact had to work fairly hard for the climbs they did. But some very good climbs were done. The existence (or should one say the ' invention ') of new ten­ thousanders must be a perpetual menace to the peace of mind of those few choice spirits who have achieved what they hoped was an unfading garland with the ascent of all the peaks in New Zealand over 1o,ooo ft. However, Mount ' Magellan ' is not positively claimed as definitely 1o,ooo ft., although it must closely approximate to it. (Throughout these notes names cited in inverted commas have yet to receive the approval of the Geographic Board.) ' Magellan ' lies on the Balfour Range spur of Mount Teichelmann, and its first ascent was made in February by Guide Harry Ayres with B. S. Gillies and Sir Edmund Hillary and D. G. Herron; the two parties climbed some of the day on one rope. They ieft the Haast Hut at 2 A.M., were· at the summit of Teichelmann by way of Clarke Saddle by 10.45 A.M., reached their objective, after traversing a long teetery crest of snow interrupted by a formidable rock tower, at 4 P.M., and returned to the Haast Hut by the route of ascent twenty-four hours after setting forth.

  • An Unusual Plant Community on Some Westland Piedmont Moraines, by G. Rennison and J. L. Brock, P
    223 AN UNUSUAL PLANT COMMUNITY ON SOME SOUTH WESTLAND PIEDMONT MORAINES by G. Rennison* and J.L. Brockf In South Westland there is an extensive area of piedmont moraines lying between the sea and the western scarp of the Southern Alps, and bounded by the Waiho River to the north and the Cook River to the south (Fig. 1). In the main the existing vegetation is podocarp-broadleaf forest, but with small pockets of a plant community which has definite alpine affinities. From the air these show up as light-coloured areas against the dark forest, and occupy areas of infertile terrace. For an explanation of their occurrence an outline of the recent geological history is pertinent. Late Pleistocene History of the Moraines Approximately two thirds of the moraines are mapped as Okarito Formation and the rest as Moana Formation (Warren, 1967; Fig. 2). Both were formed during the advance of the Otira Glaciation, the Okarito Formation being correlated with the Kumara-2 and early Kumara-3 advance, and the Moana Formation with the later Kumara-3 advance (Suggate, 1965). The Okarito Formation may also include remnants of moraines formed by the earlier Waimea Glaciation. From radio-carbon dating, Suggate suggests that the early Kumara-3 advance commenced approximately 16,000 years before present (BP). The late Kumara-3 advance commenced approximately 1,500 years later (14,500 BP) and resulted in the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers being extended beyond the present coastline, with an extensive lateral moraine complex being formed along the periphery of the Okarito Formation. Vegetation Development on the Moraines The following is an outline of the possible mode of vegetation development on these piedmont moraines: 1.
