Mount Cargill, Volcanic summit in northern Dunedin, New Zealand.
Mount Cargill rises to 676 meters above sea level, featuring dense forest coverage and geological formations shaped by ancient volcanic activity.
The mountain received its name from Captain William Cargill, who led the early European settlement of the Otago Province in the 19th century.
According to Māori traditions, the mountain's silhouette resembles a warrior's profile, with Buttar's Peak forming the head and Mount Cargill the body.
The summit walking track starts at Bethune's Gully, taking approximately 90 minutes for a round trip through forest paths and stepped sections.
The mountain houses a transmitting station from 1970 that broadcasts television and radio signals across the eastern Otago region.
