Port Hills

The Port Hills are a range of hills in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand, so named because they lie between the city of Christchurch and its port at Lyttelton. The hills are an eroded remnant of the Lyttelton volcano, which erupted millions of years ago. Starting at Godley Head, the range runs approximately east–west along the northern side of Lyttelton Harbour and thence to the south, terminating near Gebbies Pass above the head of the harbour. It includes a number of summits between 300 and 500 metres (980 and 1,640 feet) above sea level. This photograph shows a panoramic view of the Port Hills from Mount Ada, looking towards Lyttelton Harbour in the distance.
