Pigeon Mountain, Auckland

Ōhuiarangi / Pigeon Mountain is a 55 m high volcanic cone at Half Moon Bay, near Howick and Bucklands Beach, in Auckland, New Zealand. The cone forms the last part of volcanic activity that lasted many years. An earlier explosive eruption, created the prominent tuff ring that is still clearly visible extending in an arc south of Sunderlands Road. Two much smaller craters were formed to the north west of the main cone. The smaller lies buried under Pigeon Mountain Road outside number 18, and the other forms 'Heights Park' – a private reserve for the owners of 29 – 41 Pigeon Mountain Road and 14 – 36 Prince Regent Drive and 33 – 39 Tyrian Close. It forms part of the Auckland volcanic field and is popular for scientific school trips. ()
