picture info	Browns Island (New Zealand) Motukorea or Browns Island is a small New Zealand island, in the Hauraki Gulf north of Musick Point, one of the best preserved volcanoes in the Auckland volcanic field. The age of eruption is about 25,000 years ago, when the Tāmaki Estuary and the Waitemata Harbour were forested river valleys.

The area was dry land when the eruptions occurred, but much of the lava is now submerged beneath the sea. Geology Motukorea erupted approximately 24,500 years ago. It began life with a series of wet explosive eruptions that cleared it of any debris and created a 1-kilometre shallow crater, as seen today. The eject ...
