Dixon Peak

Dixon Peak, previously known as Mount Dixon, is the 23rd highest peak in New Zealand, rising to a height of 3004 m. It is located in the Southern Alps of the South Island in the Mackenzie District, within Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park, and only a short distance from its more illustrious neighbour Aoraki / Mount Cook. The mountain is a popular peak for climbers, and is used as a practice run for ascents of Cook.

Mount Dixon was named by Noel Brodrick for the mountaineer, Marmaduke Dixon (1862–1918).

The mountain should not be confused with Mount Dixon (Grey District), a lower peak of the same name close to the valley of the Taramakau River and near Harper Pass, 100 km to the north east of Dixon Peak.
