Mount Sefton (Māori: Maukatua) is a mountain in the Moorhouse Range of the Southern Alps of New Zealand, between The Footstool and Mount Brunner, just north of the Hooker Range. It has a height of 3,157 metres (10,358 ft).[3] The Douglas River (formerly known as the Twain River) begins on Mount Sefton.

 

An early resident, Charles French Pemberton, named the area, whilst the geologist Julius von Haast named the mountain after William Sefton Moorhouse, the second Superintendent of Canterbury Province. The Māori name of the mountain is Maukatua, which translates as 'mountain of the gods'.

 

Edward FitzGerald, with Matthias Zurbriggen as his guide, completed the first recorded climb to the summit shortly after Christmas 1894
