This Mt Cook Milky Way Postcard from a great backyard shows the superb winter beauty of the starry sky at night under New Zealand’s highest mountain.

Mt Cook National Park is part of the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere. Due to a lack of light pollution, the sky-gazing in this region is optimal.

This large postcard, #74 from our collection, is sized 121mm x 161mm, making it the perfect size to write a note to loved ones back home while you’re on the trip of a lifetime around New Zealand.

We source high-quality card stock for our postcards so they’re easy to write on the back and the image on the front is protected. We’re proud that all of our postcards are printed in Aotearoa New Zealand using environmentally friendly materials which carry the FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) accreditation, and using only vegetable inks derived from 99% vegetable sources.
