Jogging to Mt Eden Summit

Today we went jogging to Mount Eden. Mt Eden is one of Auckland's most famous landmarks. As the highest volcano on the Auckland isthmus it provides good views over the city and the Waitemata Harbour. Close to the centre of the city, Mt Eden is a constant reminder that Auckland is situated on a potentially active volcanic field. The Auckland volcanic field is comprised of monogenetic volcanoes. This means it is unlikely that Mt Eden or any of the existing volcanoes will erupt again. The next eruption will probably (hopefully) occur in a new location.

Some romantic scenery our folks probably will be glad to see :-)

There is a beautiful 360 degree view of Auckland from the top of the volcano. The city and its suburbs stretch as far as the eye can see.
