“I am not sure that Mount Cook is not the finest in outline of all the snowy mountains I have ever seen. No one can mistake it. If a person says he thinks he has seen it, you may be quite sure that he has not seen it. The moment it comes into sight the exclamation is 'that is Mount Cook', not 'that must be Mount Cook'. There is no possibility of mistake.”
Samuel Butler
At 3754 metres, New Zealand's highest mountain, Aoraki Mount Cook is New Zealand's highest mountain. It is a world renowned peak — climbed by many and enjoyed by all that visit. Mount Cook is the flag ship of the mighty Southern Alps mountain range. It is joined by another twenty seven peaks giving it an alpine backbone which peaks at over 3050 metres, yet with hundreds of others not far short of that — it all making up the famous Southern Alps.
