Description

Mountains are memories …

The stories of mountains may be set in stone but they reveal change we can scarcely imagine. Extinctions, volcanoes, dinosaurs … we all know they existed but how are ancient worlds and their inhabitants connected to us today?

Take a journey through deep time, to a place long ago where the bones of kunanyi/Wellington were formed from the remains of a frozen sea. Not everything that is ancient is lost …
