Murray Hill, Christmas Island, Summit in Christmas Island, Australia.

Murray Hill is the highest peak on Christmas Island, rising prominently above the landscape of the Indian Ocean. The mountain is covered in thick tropical forest that connects the hill ridges with the surrounding lowlands.

Early explorers reached the summit in the 1800s and documented their findings on the island territory. Since then it has served as a known landmark for travelers and researchers investigating the island.

The summit stands within Christmas Island National Park, which protects 85 square kilometers of natural landscape in the southwestern section of the territory.

Visitors follow well-marked trails through the park area with varying terrain when making the ascent. It is wise to bring sturdy footwear and prepare for wet conditions due to the tropical climate.

The next closest peak with higher elevation, Pasir Manglit, sits 375 kilometers away to the north-northeast at 388 meters above sea level.

Location: Christmas Island

Elevation above the sea: 357 m
