There are two Mt Cook's that I know of. The first is roughly one-half the way up the Southern Alps, and also has the Maori name Aoraki. The other one is adjacent to the CBD in Wellington, and is the prime reference for Surveying in New Zealand. It is juts inside the foyer of the old Dominion Museum in Buckle Street.
