Grafton Volcano

Grafton Volcano is a buried volcano in New Zealand's Auckland volcanic field that underlies much of the Auckland suburb of Grafton. First recognised in 2010, it includes the Outhwaite Park scoria cone that was first mapped by Hochstetter and inferred by later geologists to be a late phase vent of adjacent Pukekawa Volcano.
