Pigeon Mountain (New Zealand)
[edit]Ōhuiarangi / Pigeon Mountain is a 55 m (180 ft) high volcanic cone at Half Moon Bay, near Howick and Bucklands Beach, in Auckland, New Zealand. It is one of approximately 50 volcanoes that make up the Auckland volcanic field[1]. The cone forms the last part of volcanic activity that lasted many years.[citation needed] An earlier explosive eruption created the prominent tuff ring that is still clearly visible extending in an arc south of Sunderlands Road. A smaller crater lies to the north west of the tuff ring cone with a possible third crater now buried under residential development.[2] 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.[3]
The volcano is named for the kereru - native pigeons - that early European settlers observed feeding on the pigeonwood trees here. [4] The Maori name, Ōhuiarangi, is named after a Ngāi Tai ancestress.[5]
