When the Auckland area was settled, first by Maori and then 180 years ago by Europeans, it is unlikely that much thought was given to its volcanic past.
Kui Aucklandi piirkond esmalt maooride ning seejärel 180 aastat tagasi eurooplaste poolt asustati, siis vaevalt et selle vulkaanilise mineviku peale eriti mõeldi.
