Lendenfeld Peak, Mountain summit in Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand
Lendenfeld Peak rises to 3,194 meters in elevation and stands as the sixth highest mountain within the Southern Alps of New Zealand.
In February 1907, mountaineers Alex Graham and Henry Newton completed the first recorded climb to the peak of this formidable mountain.
The mountain bears the name of Robert Lendlmayer von Lendenfeld, an Austrian zoologist who published scientific works about deep-sea creatures in 1895.
Access to Lendenfeld Peak begins at Pioneer Hut, situated at 2,380 meters elevation, which climbers reach by helicopter or ski plane from Mount Cook Village.
The Aurora Australis climbing route features a mixed terrain ascent on the north face, leading climbers through steep ice formations above the glacier.
