Why has Jaylene Cook been criticised?
One of the photographs shared on the popular model’s Instagram showed her wearing just a beanie, gloves and trainers and posing on top of Mt Taranaki in New Zealand.
Sharing the image, she wrote: “This climb has forever changed me.
“I proved just how far I could push myself and I am truly proud of my accomplishment. This mountain was steep, rugged, ever changing and just pure brutal! Safe to say, I will never do it again.”
But social media users slammed her for being insensitive about the sacred site, with one writing: “And you couldn’t enjoy getting to the top without taking off your clothes?”
Why is Mt Taranaki sacred?
According to Māori mythology Mt Taranaki was initially located in the centre of the North Island, but lost a mighty battle with another mountain for the heart of pretty Mount Pihanga.
The area is considered the burial ground of the tribe’s ancestor and is itself seen as an ancestor.
They believe climbing to the top of the peak is inappropriate and is only very rarely done for ceremonial purpose.
Tourists are advised not to not stand directly on the summit stone, and do not litter or camp on the summit.
