Haven't done this for awhile; and this one might be a toughie (except, possibly, if you've been there and recognize it). One hint: it's an easy hike to the top.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it...

As a bonus, while you're thinking, here's another shot from Panoramio. Not exactly geology, but worth a look.

Must be NZ, as you have a horizon with no other mountains...indicating Island.

Marlborough?

One of the Sierra Madre’s of Mexico?

The trees in the foreground are the key.

Captain Cook Pines in the foreground. I'd go with NZ as well. (Of course, I could be full of it)

I have never been there, I based my answer on the topography of the mountains and the types of trees and underbrush.

The forebush looks like our dormant Retama. The rest looks like our Juniper with no stresses.

North end of the Falkland Islands?

Naw, they don’t have mountains.

I’m sticking with the Northermost point of NZ.
