Sited in southeastern New South Wales, Kosciuszko is acknowledged to be the least challenging of the Seven Summits. It was first summitted in 1840 by Polish explorer and geologist Paul Strzelecki, who in turn named the mountain after Polish patriot and hero of the American Revolution Tadeusz Kościuszko.
