Silberhorn, Alpine summit in Westland District, New Zealand
The Silberhorn rises to 3,300 meters in the Southern Alps, forming a prominent peak on the south ridge of Mount Tasman in New Zealand.
William Spotswood Green named the mountain in 1882, drawing inspiration from its resemblance to a similar formation in the Swiss Bernese Alps.
The Māori name Rangirua, meaning second sky, reflects the indigenous understanding of the mountain's relationship with the natural environment.
Mountaineers accessing Silberhorn must prepare for rapid weather changes and require advanced climbing skills for both north and south face routes.
The mountain's 35-meter prominence and position between two national parks creates opportunities for studying alpine ecosystems and geological formations.
