Mangere Mountain

What an amazing trip we had to Mangere Mountain!
We met our guide and he told us that there are 50 volcanoes in Auckland.  The newest volcano is Rangitoto Island and it erupted six hundred years ago.  The oldest volcano in Auckalnd is Lake Pupuke and it is two hundred and fifty thousand years old!!!  Mangere Mountain is twenty thousand years old.
We climbed up the mountain and looked at other mountains in the distance.  It was a very exciting walk as we got to go inside a crater.  We could see lots of different rocks that were on the ground.

Enjoy the photos
