Cape Saunders

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cape Saunders is a prominent headland on the Pacific Ocean coast of the Otago Peninsula in New Zealand's South Island. It is home to the Cape Saunders Lighthouse.

The Cape was named by Captain James Cook in 1770, in honor of Sir Charles Saunders, under whom Cook had served in Canada.
