Mitre Peak at sunrise. Mitre Peak is an iconic mountain in the South Island of New Zealand. It is one of the most photographed peaks in the country. Part of the reason for its iconic status is its location. Close to the shore of Milford Sound, in the Fiordland National Park in the southwestern South Island, it is a stunning sight. Rising to 1,692 metres from the water of the sound. it is actually a closely grouped set of five peaks, although from most easily accessible viewpoints it appears as a single point.
