Māngere Mountain Geology 

I really look forward to these videos and learning things about NZ!

This really is exciting stuff to learn about our own back yard. Thanks so much

Thank you

Excellent as usual

Thanks for this video. As always, this and the others are so interesting and informative, with great explanations and photography. I look forward to these videos, so thanks again for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

oh thank you so much for doing these videos, especially of Tamaki Makaurau (auckland) history/geology

That was very interesting thank you. You have a great style, contagious enthusiasm!

Fantastic explanation, thanks!

Another fantastic video to share with my family. Thank you.

Great video! I've always loved Auckland's volcanoes, especially Mt Eden and Rangitoto! I"ve never been to Mangere Mountain but would love to go there! Waaay back in the '80s at Victoria University, I had Dr (now Prof, I think) Jim Cole as a lecturer in volcanology - he was awesome! Had lots of great stories about volcanoes! I think he's down at the University of Canterbury now.

Another fascinating video, thanks for sharing

Very interesting, thanks for sharing 👍

Really interesting to watch thanks, having lived in Auckland and worked near Mangere Mountain for years. Laurie 😅😊

Thanks, quite a while ago !

On the irregular height of the crater rim: From watching the Iceland vulcanos, partial rim collapses are common. Rather than the high points having been built exceptionally high, could it be the case that that height was fairly typical, but other parts of the rim suffered a collapse? Translation (from about 2:00) for non New Zealanders: "Kumara" means "sweet potato". Translation for some New Zealanders: ""kumara" means "sweet potato". (Hey, I was 10 before I found out that "kumara" meant anything other than "kumara".) On the quarried scoria cones: I used to live on the site of one of the entirely removed cones. (Mt Cambria/Takararo.)

Wonderful. I love Mangere Mountain, and I'll enjoy it more now.

Great video, lots of interesting information. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video. Nice to know I was rather accurate in my guesses about the areas formation.

Nice one

20 years ago I spent a few months preparing a detailed contour plan of Mt Eden and Mt Wellington volcanic cones for archaeological purposes. Every feature on these volcanoes were surveyed,terraces,pits,trees along with heights to form the detailed contour model of the entire mountain. This was during winter with many days like the day you had in this video.

Really interesting, huge thanks. We need you to come down to Wellington and tell us the history of our hills!

Thank you "Out There Learning". Really enjoying this virtual tour series of the Auckland volcanic field! Can I put in a request for a tour of Corromandel - especially Mt Maunganui, Tuhua (Obsidian) Island & the "singing" silica sands North of Tauranga please.

Another brilliant video. Thanks!

Excellent , beautiful looking mountain. Very interesting explanation of the history of the mounttain. Nice lava bombs. How old is it, when did the eruption happen ?

Well done, cheers.

so cool

Loving these videos. Could you do a video of the Alexandra aliment by Te Awamutu? Tokanui, Te Kawa, Kakepuku, Pirongia and Mt Karioi volcanoes are in a straight line which fascinated me since I was a kid.

Settlers grew horticulture and agrivulture there also. All the market gardens from there.😊

Can you please go to Mount Maunganui, looking at Mauao, Mount Drury, and "Leisure Island". I'm really interested in the volcanic geology in the area and how it got to looking like it does today.

Seems very similar to the currently active volcanoes in Iceland....

Is there any reason nobody ever talks about the volcanic craters in Pukekohe .. as they are very large and obvious, also they never seem to be included in the list of Volcanos in Auckland .. Pukekohe is apart of Auckland?

Should be named Volcano City

How many million years before the Auckland volcanic cycle re-emerges?

How long would a cone of that size take to form? Was it built in a single eruption or over several eruptive episodes?

What did they quarry the scoria for? Were there any valuable deposits in there, or was it just for soil, like earthen fill? Thanks!

Hey I can see my house 😆

Do the names maisie and lorry mean anything to you

Prettt sure they are still quarrying at three kings

Great video. Just one recommendation , it would be nice if he learned to pronounce the maori vowels correctly. It hurts my ears to hear Maangeri and Moori 😢
