Pigeon Mountain (New Zealand)
Pigeon Mountain (, officially Ōhuiarangi / Pigeon Mountain) is a high volcanic cone and Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountain) at Half Moon Bay, near Howick and Bucklands Beach, in Auckland, New Zealand. It is part of the Auckland volcanic field. Geography and history The volcano erupted around 24,000 years ago, forming a large crater and tuff ring about 500 meters wide. The prominent tuff ring is still clearly visible extending in an arc south of Sunderlands Road. Two much smaller craters were formed to the north west of the main cone. The smaller lies buried under Pigeon Mountain Road outside number 18, and the other forms Heights Park, a private reserve for the owners of 29–41 Pigeon Mountain Road and 14–36 Prince Regent Drive and 33–39 Tyrian Close. Ōhuiarangi is a Māori name meaning 'the desire of Rangi'. Early European settlers saw many kererū, native wood pigeons, feeding on the pigeonwood trees there, hence the name Pigeon Mountain. The mountain is a f ...

Pigeon Mountain (Alberta)
Pigeon Mountain is a mountain summit located in the Bow River Valley of Kananaskis Country in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. Its parent peak is Skogan Peak, to the southeast. Pigeon Mountain can be seen from Highway 1, the Trans-Canada Highway in the Canmore to Exshaw area. History This mountain was named ''Pic de Pigeons'' in 1858 by Eugene Bourgeau, the French-born botanist while on the Palliser expedition, for flocks of pigeons seen near the mountain. Since pigeons are a species that has been introduced and would not have been present in the Bow Valley in 1858, it is unclear what species of bird Bourgeau observed. The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1956 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. Geology Pigeon Mountain is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods. Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny. Climate Based on the ...
