Souvenir Photo Aoraki/Mount Cook
Aoraki/Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand, reaching a height
of 3,754 metres (12,316 ft). It lies in the Southern Alps, the mountain
range which runs the length of the South Island. A popular tourist
destination, it is also a favourite challenge for mountain climbers.
Aoraki/Mt Cook consists of three summits lying slightly south and east of
the main divide, the Low Peak, Middle Peak and High Peak, with the Tasman
Glacier to the east and the Hooker Glacier to the west.
Extra Information The Maori legend of Mount Cook is the story of Aoraki and his three
brothers. They were the sons of Rakinui (the Sky Father) and
were on a voyage around Papatuanuku (the Earth Mother) when disaster struck
and they became stranded upon a reef.
