Instagram’s top 10 New Zealand locations for 2017

Instagram the photo-sharing phone application released on Monday the top 10 most popular places in New Zealand to share photos from, based on the number of images geo-tagged to specific locations.

Lake Tekapo won the top spot in 2016, slipping to third place in 2017. Aoraki/Mt Cook was fifth and Lake Pukaki 10th this year. The top spot was earned by the Milford Sound in Fiordland.

It was hard, but definitely worth it. 7 hours, 13.5 miles, 40k steps & 4200 calories burned. #newzealand #mttongariroalpinecrossing #mttongariro #mountains #mountainclimb #tokaanu
