‘The Great Unknown’ is the name of a mountain in good ol’ New Zealand, in the Southern Alps in NZ’s South Island.
It’s a 2196m mountain. In 1935, John Pascoe named this peak 'The Great Unknown because it was a ‘cornerpost in a welter of the new country’.
And next door to this mountain is another called Little Unknown.

The mountain peak of the mountain that I can see from my room is called “Franz” here (not the official name but everyone here knows it ) because from one side of the mountain it looks like a face and people said it’s the face of Franz
