Who named Rangitoto
Rangitoto is an cone shaped island formed by a volcano in the Waitemata Harbour in Auckland, North Island New Zealand. It is the most recent volcano in the Auckland volcano field, which consists of over 50 volcanoes, and was formed 600yrs ago. As it is a recent volcano the surface consists of black lava slowly being pioneered by bush. The native tree, the Tutu (Coriaria arborea) was the the first major plant to establish itself on Rangitoto as its long roots were able to reach the water reservoirs beneath the lava.
