LOCATION DETAILS
The name Kelvin Heights is used for the Queenstown suburb which sits on the Kelvin Peninsula. The peninsula lies between the main body of Lake Wakatipu and the lake's Frankton Arm. Close to the Kelvin Heights are the Remarkables, a mountain range and skifield in Otago in the South Island of New Zealand. The highest point in the range is Single Cone (2319 metres). The mountains were named The Remarkables by Alexander Garvie in 1857-58, allegedly because they are one of only two mountain ranges in the world which run directly north to south. An alternate explanation for the name given by locals is that early Queenstown settlers, upon seeing the mountain range during sunset one evening, named them the Remarkables to describe the sight.
