Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand.

According to Maori mythology, Aoraki was the son of Rakinui, the Sky Father. On his journey around the Papatuanuku, the Earth Mother, their canoe became stranded on a reef and tilted. Aoraki, along with his three brothers climbed onto the top side of their canoe. Unfortunately, the south wind froze them and turned them to stone. Their canoe became the Te Waka o Aoraki, which is now the South Island. Aoraki, the tallest, became the highest peak, and his brothers created the Ka Tiritiri o te Moana, which we now know as the Southern Alps."
