International Dark Sky Reserve
In June 2012, the region gained further international recognition as the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve – at 4300 sqkm, it is the world’s largest international park in the sky.
Far from city lights, and under strictly controlled local ordinances, the gold-rated dark sky reserve has almost light-pollution-free skies making for exceptional night sky viewing for the thousands of visitors who make the pilgrimage each year.
