1. LAKE FERGUS NEAR THE HOMER TUNNEL, WESTERN OTAGO, SOUTH ISLAND 
Southern-beech (Nothofagus) forests clothe the mountains high up toward the snowy peaks of the Southern 
Alps. 
2. SOUTHERN-BEECH FOREST (NOTHOFAGUS FUSCA), PARADISE, LAKE WAKATIPU, 
OTAGO PROVINCE, SOUTH ISLAND 
Without looking at the foliage one would think himself to be in a northern-beech (Fagus grandifolia) forest 
in temperate North America.
