A view of the lighthouse and the sacred rocky point at Cape Reinga, New Zealand. While visitors to Cape Reinga typically take the pathway to the lighthouse, they are not allowed to approach the rocky point next to it and its 800-year-old pohutukawa tree. This point is sacred in Maori mythology as the place where the spirits of the dead make their way off the mainland to descend to the underworld.
