Lake Pupuke is a freshwater lake occupying a volcanic explosion crater.

I know what you mean about the extinct volcano, we live near Yellowstone National Park and there have been rumbling of a possible eruption, if it does blow you can count Montana and the surrounding States, as history...

Hal, I have said under the photo where it is - yes, on the North Shore of Auckland - in Milford. Lots of water sports are held on it, plus diving and many birds...
