The island covers an area of approximately 325 ha (800 acres), [3] which is just the peak of a much larger submarine volcano. Topographical map of Whakaari / White Island. The island is New Zealand's most active cone volcano, and has been built up by continuous volcanic activity over the past 150,000 years. [4]

The central red area is the Oruanui caldera with surrounding collapse crater in lighter red. It is superimposed on present day New Zealand although at the time New Zealand land mass was larger, as sea level was much lower.

The Auckland volcanic field is an area of monogenetic volcanoes covered by much of the metropolitan area of Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, located in the North Island. The approximately 53 volcanoes [ 2 ] in the field have produced a diverse array of maars (explosion craters), tuff rings , scoria cones, and lava flows.
