Abstract
The city of Auckland is located in an area that must be regarded as an active or potentially active volcanic field. The history of the field suggests that risk of further eruptions is of the order of 2 per cent chance per century. There is no indication of a preferred site for a future outbreak other than that it is likely to be a new site within the present boundaries of the field. Whether it is an explosive or an effusive eruption will be determined largely by its location.
