 * Did you know that the Orakei Basin is a volcanic crater? ** **Orakei means "Place of Adorning" (in Maori). Orakei Basin, the arm of the Waitemata, is an ancient volcanic crater known as a //maar//. Maars are shallow, flat floored craters caused by phreatomagmatic eruptions. This kind of eruption or explosion is an explosive water-magma interaction which produces fine grained tephra. Scientists have found Orakei Volcano is much older then previously thought.**
