McLennan Hills, Volcanic hills in Auckland, New Zealand.
The McLennan Hills consist of multiple scoria mounds reaching heights of 45 meters, forming part of the Auckland volcanic field landscape.
Historical aerial photographs from 1940 document the presence of three distinct craters, with the largest measuring approximately 100 meters in width.
The area holds deep connections to Māori heritage, serving as a strategic location for fortified pā between the Waitematā Harbour and Manukau Harbour.
Visitors can explore the modified terrain through several access points, observing the transformation from volcanic formations to residential developments.
Following extensive quarrying operations, the location transformed from scoria mounds to greenhouse facilities before becoming a residential district.
