Auckland Eden Epsom Mount Zealand
EDITORS COMMENTS
Mount Eden, also known as Maungawhau, is a significant volcanic cone and suburban locality located in Auckland, New Zealand. This historical photograph, taken in the early 1900s from the suburb of Epsom, offers a captivating glimpse into the past. The image showcases Mount Eden in all its majesty, with its distinctive shape rising above the rolling hills and lush greenery of the surrounding landscape. Mount Eden holds great cultural and historical significance for the Maori people, who believe that the mountain is the sacred burial place of a number of their ancestors. The mountain's name, Maungawhau, means "mountain of the shining peak" in Maori. The volcanic cone is believed to have formed around 600,000 years ago and last erupted around 14,000 years ago. The summit of Mount Eden offers breathtaking views of the Auckland region and beyond, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. This photograph provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse of how the landscape of Auckland looked over a century ago. The absence of modern buildings and infrastructure allows us to imagine what life was like in this part of New Zealand during the early 1900s. The image also highlights the natural beauty of Mount Eden and the surrounding countryside, which continues to draw visitors from around the world to this day. Mount Eden is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of New Zealand, and this photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this iconic landmark.
