Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Kaikohe-Bay of Islands
This basaltic scoria cone is one of 30 Pleistocene to early-Holocene eruptive centers in the Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field in NW-most North Island, New Zealand. The most recent eruptions produced scoria cones and lava flows near Te Puke about 1,300-1,800 years ago. The volcanic field also contains small shield volcanoes, along with small rhyolitic lava flows and domes. Photo by Jim Cole (University of Canterbury).

The Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field, at the upper end of the Northland Peninsula, contains 30 Pleistocene and Holocene eruptive centers, consisting primarily of basaltic scoria cones, lava flows, and small shield volcanoes, along with minor rhyolitic lava flows and domes. The field lies at the N end of the Northland Intraplate Province, and volcanism has progressively shifted to the SE, with the younger Taheke Basalts being aligned along a NE trend at the S end of the field. The most recent eruption produced explosive activity and lava flows from four scoria cones at Te Puke about 1,300-1,800 years ago, although the precise date of the activity remains uncertain. Hot springs occur at three locations, including near Lake Omapere, which was dammed by lava flows.
