Maungakiekie - 182 metre volcanic peak located in Auckland

One Tree Hill - Cornwall Park

One Tree Hill (also known as Maungakiekie) is a 182 metre volcanic peak located in Auckland, New Zealand.
It is an important memorial place for both Māori and other New Zealanders.
The hill's scoria cones erupted 20,000 - 30,000 years ago, creating lava flows that covered an area of 20 square kilometres,
making it the largest (in terms of area covered) of the Auckland volcanic field.

Very nice information. I love those Maori names (BTW they are read like in Spanish, so it´s easier for me)
