East Cape Lighthouse, New Zealand Royalty-Free Stock Photography

Located on the top of Otiki Hill the most easterly point of New Zealand`s north island, lies the East Cape Lighthouse. Originally located on East Island the lighthouse was relocated in 1922 to Otiki Hill due to difficult access to the island as well as earthquakes and landslides. In 1985 the lighthouse became fully automated and is now controlled by the Maritime New Zealand headquarters in Wellington.
