Sugarloaf, Summit in Port Hills, New Zealand.
Te Heru-o-Kahukura rises to 494 meters above sea level, offering views across Christchurch city and the Canterbury region from its basalt rock peak.
The New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation constructed a 121-meter communication tower on the summit in 1965, establishing the first television transmission point for Canterbury.
The Māori name Te Heru-o-Kahukura translates to 'the headcomb of Kahukura', referring to a spiritual guardian consulted by tribal leaders for guidance.
Visitors can reach the summit via Summit Road, with designated parking areas providing access to hiking trails and rock climbing locations.
The summit functions as the primary broadcasting point for television and FM radio signals across the Canterbury region through its steel lattice tower.
