What is that mysterious dome on top of Ōrongomai / Cass Peak, Christchurch ?
Inside the 13 metre dome a radar antenna spins at a precise speed, protected from the elements.
The dome is operated by Airways, the state-owned enterprise that runs New Zealand’s air traffic control system. The radar tracks aircraft from the top of the South Island down to just past Dunedin. The facility also helps send radio messages between aircraft and control towers
