The Mount Cook Range (Māori: Kirikirikatata; officially gazetted as Kirikirikatata / Mount Cook Range) is an offshoot range of the Southern Alps of New Zealand. The range forks from the Southern Alps at the Green Saddle[3] and descends towards Lake Pukaki, encompassing Aoraki / Mount Cook[4] and standing adjacent to the Tasman Glacier.[5]
In 1889, the highest point of the range was 3763m,[6] but this has since been reduced by avalanches and erosion.[7]
In 2013, the range was officially renamed Kirikirikatata / Mount Cook Range as part of a number of name changes within the Mount Cook region, following a 2012 proposal. According to Māori creation myths, Kirikirikatata was the grandfather of Aoraki, both of whom turned into mountains; Kirikirikatata into the Mount Cook Range, and Aoraki into Mount Cook.[8][9]
