Lyttelton Harbour

Lyttelton Harbour est l'une des deux plus importantes baies de la péninsule de Banks dans la région de Canterbury en Nouvelle-Zélande. Elle tire son nom de la ville de Lyttelton située à proximité, dont elle est le port.

La zone est constituée d'un cratère volcanique effondré. Deux îles, l'île de Quail et l'île Ripapa, se trouve dans la baie. Ripapa a notamment des fortifications puisqu'elle a été utilisée pendant la Première Guerre mondiale pour l'internement des prisonniers allemands, dont Félix Von Luckner.
