North Batan: Radar Station

Just a few minutes away from the chapel is the Tukon Radar Station.
In Ivatan terms, "tukon" means hills, "radar" means lightouse. 

the view where Mt. Iraya is covered by the clouds
The spot gives you a perfect 360 degree view of Batan. 
As per Wikipilipinas, you'll see the Pacific Ocean on your east side, 
South China Sea on your west, 
Mount Iraya on your north, 
And the rolling hills on your south. 
Wonderful isn't it? 




the wonderful hedgerows 
As per history, 
the Radar Tukon used to be a lighthouse and was used as US weather station.
Now, it merely serves as primal weather station of Basco. 


the golf ball-like weather station



The cow is also up for some snapshots!! hihi!
