Mount Zeil, Mountain summit in Northern Territory, Australia
Mount Zeil rises to 1,531 meters above sea level within the MacDonnell Ranges, making it the highest peak in the Northern Territory of Australia.
The mountain received its name during Ernest Giles's 1872 expedition, following a suggestion from Baron Ferdinand von Mueller to honor Count Karl von Waldburg-Zeil.
The Western Arrernte people know Mount Zeil as Urlatherrke, referring to the Yeperenye caterpillars that hold importance in their traditional stories.
The summit requires a challenging nine-hour hike without marked trails, necessitating navigation skills, adequate water supplies, and emergency communication equipment.
Mount Zeil stands as the highest point west of the Great Dividing Range on mainland Australia, attracting experienced climbers seeking to conquer major peaks.
