Rangitoto Island is a volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf near Auckland, New Zealand. The 3.4 miles wide island is a volcano cone. Rangitoto is the youngest and largest of the approximately 50 volcanoes of the Auckland volcanic field, having erupted in two phases about 600 years ago. It is separated from the mainland of Auckland's North Shore by the Rangitoto Channel. Rangitoto is Māori for Bloody Sky. For some time, wasps have been a problem on the island - killing bird populations and scaring tourists.
