Mount Tasman

Japanese: タスマン[山]（英語表記）Mount Tasman

Located in the center of New Zealand's South Island, it is the second highest mountain in the country after Mount Cook. It has an elevation of 3,498m. It is one of the high mountains in the central Southern Alps, and is in the range just north of Mount Cook. Its rugged shape covered in snow and ice is very similar to that of Mount Cook. Several glaciers span the mountain, including the Tasman Glacier (29km long, 9km wide), the largest in the country, which is located on the eastern slope between the mountain and Mount Cook. The Tasman Range is located in the northwest of the South Island and is not related to this mountain. [Taniuchi Tatsu]

ニュージーランド南島中央部にあり，クック山に次ぐ同国第2の山。標高3498m。サザン･アルプス中央部の高山の一つで，クック山のすぐ北に連なり，雪氷におおわれたけわしい山容はクック山とよく似ている。クック山との間の東斜面にあるこの国最大のタスマン氷河(長さ29km，幅9km)をはじめいくつかの氷河がかかる。なおタスマン山地は南島北西部にあり，この山とは関係ない。【谷内達】
