Port Hills

The Port Hills are a range of hills in Canterbury, New Zealand, so named because they lie between the city of Christchurch and its port at Lyttelton. The Port Hills run approximately east-west along the northern side of Lyttelton Harbour, including a number of summits between 300 and 500 metres above sea level. Some consider the crater rim around the western end of Lyttelton Harbour, which runs largely north-south, to also be part of the Port Hills.
