    I distinctly remember flying my paraglider from the summit of Porter Heights in summer in late 1991. Flying as high as 12,750 feet ASL (which was illegal!) above the Craigieburn range, the ugly black scar on the northern side of Aoraki was easily visible 125km away. That afternoon I was able to look down 4,000 feet onto the top surface of a 747 as if flew down the Craigieburn valley. That gave me goosebumps. Later on I found a dragonfly that had been sucked up from ground level in the thermal I was in, and he must have been a bit confused at over 11,000 feet. He rested on my leg for a while, before flying away. The thermal activity that day was wild, with many exceeding 10m/s vertical climb rate. It was a very exciting day!

      You might find that a lot of youtubers have speech impediments, even the popular ones. Who are you to tell people not to do what they love?

    The earthquakes did not cause the uplift. Uplift caused the earthquakes.

      Yes the compressive forces between the tectonic plates caused the ruptures on the Alpine and other faults which resulted in the uplift on the Pacific side (Southern Alps) of the plate boundary.
