Mount Nimrod (officially Mount Nimrod/Kaumira since 2010) is a hill in the Hunters Hills area of Canterbury, New Zealand.




Naming


The English name first appears on a map in 1863 but the reason for it being used is unknown. Nimrod was a biblical hunter which has led to speculation. The Hunters Hills are named as they were a significant hunting area for the local Māori at the time of European settlement. Known in the Māori language as Te Tari a Te Kaumira meaning "the long range of Te Kaumira" who perished there in a snowstorm, hence the Māori name for Mount Nimrod.: 1 




Geology


The uplifted Hunter Hills are built on greywacke basement with overlaying sediments including coal deposits. The uplift is related to the predominantly reverse Hunter Hills fault. The fault zone is not particularly active and has been mapped for 62 km (39 mi), with a slip rate of less than 1 mm (0.039 in)/year, an average displacement at events between 3–6 m (9.8–19.7 ft) that occur more than 10,000 years apart.
