Description: Aoraki / Mount Cook was one of a few NZ peaks that were digitally combined into the Lonely Mountain featured in The Hobbit Trilogy. The lake in front of the mountain was also the location of the destruction of Laketown scene featured in The Hobbit The Battle of Five Armies. The peak itself is over 12,000 feet, and located in its own national park featuring fjords, glaciers, and wilderness. Climbing Aoraki / Mount Cook is similar in distance to climbing from Everest's base camp to its peak, prompting many to train here before attempting an Everest ascent.
