+ About this map
Mount Kosciuszko rises 7,310 feet in the Snowy Mountains of southeastern Australia, the highest peak on the Australian mainland and the gentlest member of the Seven Summits. The Polish explorer Paul Strzelecki named it in the 1840s for Tadeusz Kosciuszko, a hero of revolutions on two continents. There is no scramble to the top: a walking track crosses open alpine country to a summit a fit hiker can reach and return from in an afternoon.
This map shows what old, stable land looks like at altitude. The contour lines roll in wide, easy curves across the Main Range, a high plateau rather than a crest of spires. The exceptions are the small glacial cirques scooped out during the last ice age, including the hollow holding Lake Cootapatamba just below the summit, the highest lake in Australia, and the ridgeline running north toward Mount Townsend, the mainland’s second highest point.
