NEW ZEALAND - NORTH ISLAND

33 Summits with 600 meters or greater prominence

the "Double Eagles"



Compiled by Jonathan de Ferranti

This list provides all of the known summits on the North Island of New Zealand with at least 600 meters (1,968') of topographic prominence.  New Zealand has a preliminary total of 334 such summits.  New Zealand has ten "ultra-prominences" defined as summits with at least 1,500m of prominence.  These are two on the North Island and eight on the South Island, which are also referenced on the Ultras page for Oceania.

Summit elevations were taken from the 1:250,000 Terrain Map Series.  Saddle elevations (and therefore prominence values) have been derived from SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) DEM data.  For the most part these have not yet been checked against the topographic maps, aside from the ultras.  Therefore the following values may deviate from the topographic maps by ±15m, or more where saddles are in extremely rugged terrain.

We welcome further collaboration with any interested party who has full access to the 1:50,000 map series, and an interest in checking saddles.  Please contact the authors for more information about our saddle data.

Paul Clarke has published a very well researched list of the Mountains of New Zealand, through the New Zealand Alpine Club.  The list, which is free on the internet, names 856 mountains with at least 300 metres (984') of prominence and 1400m of elevation.  This includes 35 on the North Island and 821 on the South Island.
