Mount Zeil (Northern Territory)

Mount Zeil (1,531 m[1] / 5,023 ft) is a mountain situated in the western MacDonnell Ranges in Australia's Northern Territory. It is the highest peak in the Northern Territory, and the highest peak in Australia west of the Great Dividing Range (Eastern Highlands).

It is believed that Mount Zeil was named during or following Ernest Giles' 1872 expedition, probably after Count Zeil, who had recently distinguished himself with geographic explorations in Spitsbergen; a footnote in Giles' published journal implies that the naming was instigated by his benefactor Baron Ferdinand von Mueller[2].

The indigenous name for Mount Zeil in the Western Arrernte language is Urlatherrke, referring to the ayeparenye caterpillars[3].
