(Maungawhau, the 'Mountain of the Whau tree' in Māori)

The dormant volcano whose summit (196 metres above sea level) is the highest natural point on the Auckland isthmus.The majestic bowl-like crater is 50 metres deep. The volcano erupted from two craters 28,000 years ago, with the last eruptions from the southern crater filling the northern crater. In pre-European times Mount Eden was utilised as a fortified hill pā* by various Māori tribes.
