If it is a 1953 cancel, then it may celebrate Edmund Hillary and Tensing Sherpa being first to scale Mount Everest.

Thank you, the Everest postmark is probably correct. Still googling trying to find something similar. Appreciate the help!

From memory, it looked to me like Everest. The following image suggests the the postmark image has all the bumps in the right places but is as seen from much closer - more dramatic.

Could be Aoraki Mount Cook, which is the tallest mountain in New Zealand.

See image below, which is from a recent visit - picture not great sorry.

This image was taken from the end of Lake Pukaki. I suspect an image taken from slightly further to the 'left' and slightly higher up, could more accurately match the ridgeline that extends from the peak towards the "viewer" in the postmark.
