One of the 737 drivers from work posted this on Youtube. A let down into Queenstown Airport in the South Island of New Zealand. Pretty neat scenery.

Flying into Queenstown is neat. Only done it as pax, but the scenery sliding by is spectacular. You approach between mountain ranges. This image gives you an idea of the approach; over the lake between the mountains to the threshold visible at lower right.

Voted seventh most scenic airport approach in the world...
