Mount Ollivier, Mountain summit in Canterbury Region, New Zealand.
Mount Ollivier rises to 1,933 meters in the Sealy Range of the Southern Alps, offering views of Lake Pukaki and surrounding peaks.
Sir Edmund Hillary completed his first significant mountain ascent on Mount Ollivier in 1939, marking the start of his mountaineering career.
The mountain stands within Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, where traditional Maori connections to the land remain strong through generations.
The Mueller Hut Route leads hikers through a 5.4-kilometer track with 1,045 meters elevation gain before reaching the final summit approach.
A 2008 proposal to rename the peak Mount Hillary after Sir Edmund's death received opposition from the Ollivier family.
