Mount Haast, Mountain summit in Westland District, New Zealand
Mount Haast rises to 3,140 meters within the Southern Alps range, featuring three distinct peaks connected by steep ridges at its highest point.
German geologist Julius von Haast received recognition through this mountain when James Mackay named it after him in the 19th century.
The mountain stands near the Southern Alps, known as Kā Tiritiri o te Moana in Māori language, reflecting the deep connection to indigenous heritage.
Climbers need advanced mountaineering skills and proper equipment to attempt the summit, which became accessible after the first ascent in February 1907.
The mountain sits at the head of Albert Glacier, with secondary peaks reaching heights of 3,099 meters and 3,065 meters respectively.
