Iain – My exact thought too – the southernmost tip of the South Island – the last land our dearest family and friends left behind as they headed towards Erebus, and their tragic premature deaths. This is a memorial, and it will always be a memorial. Some will want to visit, and some will not, but foremost it must forever be a memorial, and not just another tourist attraction. We owe the dead dignity and respect, and it would be singular, if just for once, this country could rise to the occasion with the solemnity which it deserves. A physical distance between our remembrance of the beloved dead, and tawdry Air New Zealand, must also be maintained – Air N Z have cast their shadow, and they cast it shamefully.
