The Minarets, Mountain peak in Southern Alps, New Zealand.
The Minarets consist of two distinct peaks reaching heights of 3040 meters and 3031 meters in Westland Tai Poutini National Park.
The first documented ascent of The Minarets occurred in 1895 when mountaineers Tom Fyfe and Malcolm Ross reached the summit.
The Minarets represent a significant part of New Zealand's mountaineering heritage within the Southern Alps mountain range.
Climbers need to start before dawn from Centennial Hut, carrying two ice axes and snow pickets for the steep snow slopes.
The Minarets stand as the second northernmost three-thousand-metre peaks in New Zealand, after Mount Elie de Beaumont.
