Mount Humboldt, Mountain summit in New Caledonia, France.

Mount Humboldt is the second highest peak in New Caledonia, rising prominently above the surrounding landscape as a major geographical feature. The summit showcases steep slopes and shifting vegetation zones that change with elevation, allowing hikers to pass through different ecological environments.

The name comes from the Prussian explorer Alexander von Humboldt. The sources record only this etymology and give no date for the naming, so the attribution is not tied to a specific expedition. Humboldt never visited New Caledonia; the mountain was named in his honour by later cartographers.

The massif is classed among New Caledonia's protected natural areas, and its humid forests shelter endemic geckos, skinks and forest birds. The name honours Prussian explorer Alexander von Humboldt. The rare fern Tmesipteris alticola grows here.

The main hiking trail known as Traversée du Humboldt leads to the summit, with a mountain hut positioned to the west providing shelter and rest stops. Visitors should prepare for steep terrain and be ready for varying conditions depending on the season.

Mount Humboldt is one of the few places where the fern Tmesipteris alticola grows, and its wet mountain forest also holds Araucaria humboldtensis, a conifer named after the peak itself. The massif is listed among New Caledonia's protected natural areas.
