The Acropolis, Mountain summit in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania, Australia.
The Acropolis rises 1481 meters above sea level, featuring steep rock faces and offering extensive views across the Tasmanian wilderness landscape.
The peak received its name from early explorers who noted its resemblance to ancient Greek architectural structures rising above the surrounding terrain.
Aboriginal people refer to the surrounding Lake St Clair as leeawuleena, meaning sleeping water, reflecting their deep connection to this mountainous region.
The challenging 27-kilometer trek to the summit requires technical climbing skills and takes approximately two days to complete from the Lake St Clair Visitor Centre.
January records the highest number of climbers at 36 percent of annual ascents, while the mountain forms part of the Tasmania 125 Connoisseur Peaks Challenge.
