Learn how volcanic activity has shaped Auckland's landscape.
Volcanic hazards and landforms
Experience
Explore the volcanic features of Māngere Mountain, the only intact volcanic cone in the Manukau area.
Students simulate the processes of a volcanic eruption and lava flow and study the impact made by humans on the landscape. At Ambury Farm, they explore a lava cave and consider the hazards that may be created by a localised volcanic eruption - how can these be predicted, managed and the impact minimised on people and the environment?
