Torres Peak is a mountain in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, and is part of Westland Tai Poutini National Park.
[1] It is located two kilometres (1.2 mi) to the north of Aoraki / Mount Cook, close to Mount Tasman, of which it is a secondary peak.
It is largely surrounded by the icefields of the Abel Janszoon Glacier.
[3] The first ascent of the peak was made on 4 February 1907 at noon by mountaineers Ebenezer Teichelmann, Alec Graham and Henry Edward Newton from the northwest via Katies Col.[4] The name was given in honour of well-known seafarers.
