aoraki

The Maori name of Mount Cook is Aoraki, which was believed to mean cloud piercer in the past. Whether the name really meant that or not, here is a shot of Aoraki piercing a cloud.

edit: Excerpt from The Encyclopedia of New Zealand regarding the name:

Aoraki (Mt Cook) is the highest peak in the Southern Alps, the central mountain range of the South Island. In the past many believed that the Maori name for Mt Cook, Aorangi (which in the Ngai Tahu dialect is Aoraki), meant 'the cloud-piercer'. But Aorangi was a person. According to tradition, when the canoe in which he and his brothers were voyaging in the south-west Pacific was wrecked, he scrambled to the highest point of the canoe's upturned hull. One early name for the South Island is Te Waka o Aoraki (Aoraki's canoe).
