Rangitoto Island

A landmark of Auckland, New Zealand


Rangitoto Island is a volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf near Auckland, New Zealand. The Island is the largest, youngest and one of the least modified of about 50 volcanic cones and craters in the Auckland volcanic field. It erupted from the sea in a series of dramatic explosions around 600 years ago, and is now extinct. It dominates the local seascape.


This sublime and timeless image, taken at Narrowneck beach, shows an echo of Rangitoto's birth long ago with this explosive sunrise.

    I especially like the second one where heaven and earth comes perfectly together.

    Very nice work.
