Description
A small lake between Lake Te Anau and Milford Sound, it lies close to the New Zealand State Highway 94 (the Milford Sound Road) and the Divide of the Southern Alps.
The lake was named after George Gunn, a runholder, who discovered the lake in 1861.[2] the name Consolation Peak originated from local Mountaineer Sir Erskine Bowmar but due to an administrative error was placed on the wrong mountain. In 1980 The Name Consolation Peak was moved to another nearby mountain bearing a JRR Tolkien name Mount Gondor (submitted in 1973 at the time of JRR Tolkien’s death). Mount Gondor was subsequently omitted from Land Information New Zealand maps from 1980 onwards[3]
