Auckland has 68 volcanic peaks. The most recent volcano was 600 years ago - Rangitoto Island - just minutes from the city center. We visited Mount Eden - a volcanic peak that was once the site of a Maori village. You can see the lush greenery in the crater. Sky City tower stands above the skyline. Wonderful views of the city. This afternoon we visited the Auckland Museum that has a simulation of a volcanic eruption.
