With a height of above sea level, it is the highest mountain in Australia.〔 Various measurements of the peak originally called Kosciuszko showed it to be slightly lower than its neighbour, Mount Townsend. The names of the mountains were swapped by the New South Wales Lands Department, so that Mount Kosciuszko remains the name of the highest peak of Australia, and Mount Townsend ranks as second.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mountain systems of Australia )〕 The 1863 picture by Eugene von Guerard hanging in the National Gallery of Australia titled ''"Northeast view from the northern top of Mount Kosciusko"'' is actually from Mount Townsend.〔http://www.jokar.com.au/projects/Ten-Mile%20Stare/slides/Mt_Townsend_Panorama1.html〕 When considering all of Oceania as a continent, Mount Kosciuszko is overshadowed by Puncak Jaya in Papua, Indonesia, also called Carstensz Pyramid. Different versions of the Seven Summits climbing challenge depend on which is chosen to be the "Australia" peak.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Facts & figures of all 7summiteers! )〕 ==Etymology== It was named by the Polish explorer Paul Edmund Strzelecki in 1840, in honour of the Polish national hero and hero of the American Revolutionary War General Tadeusz Kościuszko, because of its perceived resemblance to the Kościuszko Mound in Kraków. The name of the mountain was previously spelt "Mount Kosciusko", an Anglicisation, but the spelling "Mount Kosciuszko" was officially adopted in 1997 by the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales.〔 The traditional English pronunciation of Kosciuszko is , but the pronunciation is now sometimes used, which is substantially closer to the Polish pronunciation . ('Kosciusko' as 'Koz-cush-ko' is an acceptable pronunciation ) There are several native Aboriginal (Ngarigo) names associated with the mountain, with some confusion as to the exact sounds. These are ''Jagungal, Jar-gan-gil, Tar-gan-gil, Tackingal'', however all of them mean "Table Top Mountain."〔; cited in Alan E.J.
