About

Lake Tennyson (elevation 1,102 metres or 3,615 feet) (Māori name: Rangitahi) is a glacial high-country lake in Canterbury, New Zealand. The first European settler to see the lake was Frederick Weld in 1853, who also named it. The headwaters of the Waiau Toa / Clarence River are just to the north, and the river flows through Lake Tennyson.
