Mount Galloway is the highest point on Antipode Islands, an island group about 800 kilometers southeast of Christchurch, New Zealand. The peak reaches 402 meters above sea level. It is alleged that this is also the volcano with the most recent eruption of the volcanoes on the islands, but an exact eruption date is unknown. Mount Galloway and Mount Waterhouse would have arisen during that most recent eruption. These mountains date at least from the Holocene.
Mount Galloway is on the west side of the largest island of the group. Captain Fairchild (1834 -1898) described the mountain as a bare hill with a round top. About this Captain Fairchild was written: "There is probably no man better known with New Zealand's shores and ports, which was more popular or respected".
Chapman reached the Mount Galloway Summit in 1903, describing it as "Good Ground, Covered with Pleurophyllum and Low-Growing Ligusticum." Due to fog, we did not manage to see the clear lake there. There was a lot of flat ground above it , which literally flooded the albatrosses ". This lake of about 5.5 hectares was seen by W. Dougall at Mount Galloway.
The largest of the three types of Coprosma plants occurs only on Mt Galloway. The mountain is also the residence of a small parket (Platycercus novae-zelandiae). 49 ° 41 'ZB, 178 ° 47' OL
