Image of Sight: Pigeon Mountain (New Zealand)   

Pigeon Mountain is a volcanic cone situated in Half Moon Bay near Bucklands Beach, Auckland, New Zealand. It forms part of the Auckland volcanic field and is very popular for scientific school trips. It has been extensively quarried with the entire north side of the volcano removed. The mountain is a former pa site and some of the terracing still remains. Artifacts as well as skulls were found there in the 1960s by students from Pakuranga College. The mountain is open to the public.
