A previously unnamed 1,436-metre mountain near Lake Manapouri in Fiordland National Park has been officially named Mount Kirk in honor of former Prime Minister Norman Kirk. The naming recognizes Kirk's significant political legacy, particularly his commitment to preserving the natural levels of Lakes Manapouri and Te Anau and establishing the Guardians of Lakes Manapouri and Te Anau. This decision, confirmed by the New Zealand Geographic Board and Minister Mike Butterick, commemorates Kirk’s lasting impact on New Zealand’s environmental conservation and leadership.
