List of mountains of New Zealand by height

[1][2] Download coordinates as: These are all the mountains over 2,400 metres (7,900 ft) with a topographic prominence (drop) of at least 300 metres (980 ft), closely matching those on the list of mountains of New Zealand by the New Zealand Alpine Club.

Prior to the introduction of the metric system in New Zealand, the mountains regarded as tall were those over 10,000 ft (3,000 m).

Lists of mountains or peaks by height have over the decades been published by the New Zealand government in its official yearbook.

Not all the mountains had been officially surveyed and Hasell added 12 new ones to the list that he considered likely to also reach the 10,000 feet mark and deleted 2 (De la Beche and The Minarets), making a total of 27 peaks.

This list was published in the 1957 edition of the New Zealand Alpine Journal and stood for the next 25 years.
