skywatch: Mt Eden Volcano
http://skyley.blogspot.com/
This is the peak marker at the summit of Mount Eden (Maungawhau, the 'Mountain of the Whau tree' in Māori). Mt Eden is the name of a cinder cone and surrounding suburb in Auckland City, New Zealand. The Auckland volcanic field is comprised of monogenetic volcanoes. This means it is unlikely that Mt Eden or any of the existing volcanoes will erupt again.
The view is breathtaking, and almost all tourists to Auckland are taken to this 360 degrees panoramic display of the city. The wind is very strong and cold. It is best to bring a wind breaker in summer. Brides brave the cold to take their wedding photos.
The strong wind has replaced the hot erupting volcano.
We love it, and often park our car at the base and climb all the way up. It is also on the Coast to Coast city walk.
