Jean Batten Peak is a 1,971-metre-elevation (6,467-foot) mountain summit in Otago, New Zealand.
Jean Batten Peak is part of the Ailsa Mountains and is situated 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) west of Glenorchy in the Otago Region of the South Island.
Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,350 metres (4,429 feet) above Lake McKellar in two kilometres.
[6] Prevailing westerly winds blow moist air from the Tasman Sea onto the mountains, where the air is forced upward by the mountains (orographic lift), causing moisture to drop in the form of rain or snow.
The months of December through February offer the most favourable weather for viewing or climbing this peak.
