Rangitoto
Moonrise over Rangitoto, NZ. Rangitoto is one of 49 volcanoes that Auckland is built upon. Steve tells me that they are "monogenic", that is, they spring up individually, if I understood correctly. Budding geologists may wish to correct me, of course.
The local authorities have apparently assured people that there will be a warning when the next one arrives and "there will be time to evacuate". Good luck, folks.
