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. They are an eroded remnant of the Lyttelton volcano, which erupted millions of years ago.〔 The 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 volcanic rim around the western end of the harbour, which runs largely north–south, to also be part of the Port Hills. The range is of significant geological, environmental and scenic importance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Port Hills Fact Sheet )
==History==
The volcano is one of two from which Banks Peninsula was originally formed over 12 million years ago. The area was first populated by Māori during the 14th century. During early European settlement some 300 years later the Port Hills presented a challenging barrier between the harbour and the planned settlement of Christchurch, their steepness and ruggedness making access extremely difficult. For many years the majority of settlers used the precipitous Bridle Path to transport themselves and their belongings to the plains on the other side. Today the Lyttelton road tunnel and a separate rail tunnel connect the port and the city suburbs, and three road routes crossing the range – via Evans, Dyers and Gebbies passes – are connected by the Summit Road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Christchurch City Council Natural Areas webpage )
