Kunanyi / Mount Wellington, Mountain summit near Hobart, Australia.
Mount Wellington rises 1,271 meters above sea level, featuring dolerite cliffs and offering views across Hobart and the Derwent River estuary.
The mountain received its current name in 1832 to honor the Duke of Wellington, after being previously known as Table Mountain by early European explorers.
The Tasmanian Aboriginal people named the mountain kunanyi, which became part of its official dual name following the 2013 naming policy implementation.
The summit road provides vehicle access to the mountain top, while numerous walking trails accommodate different fitness levels throughout the Wellington Park reserve.
The mountain experiences such extreme weather variations that snow can fall during summer months, with temperatures dropping below zero degrees Celsius.
