奥克兰伊甸山 Auckland Mount Eden

伊甸山位于奥克兰市中心以南约4公里处
是纽西兰其中一个火山口
也是奥克兰市区内未经人造的最高自然景观

Mount Eden is about 4km south of the Auckland Central Business District.  It is one of the volcanic cones in New Zealand and is also the highest natural point in Auckland.


这里山顶可以观赏奥克兰的市区和海港360度全景
因此吸引许多的游客到来
由于大量车辆开往山顶易造成交通阻塞
目前已限制车辆只可停泊在半山腰
游客必须步行上山

A climb up to the summit allows visitors to have a panoramic 360-degree view over the city and harbour. However, due to large amount of vehicles driving up to the summit will cause traffic congestion, it is now restricted that vehicles are only able to park on halfway up to the moutain and visitors have to walk to the summit.


伊甸山火山口呈椭圆形
当年所喷发出来的岩浆多达5.6平方公里
可装满32,000个奥林匹克标准泳池
如今已长成了一片绿色草地

The volcano cone of Mount Eden has an oval shape.  The ancient lava flows when it erupted covered 5.6 square kilometres and its "bubble" contained enough lava to fill 32,000 Olympic swimming pools but it is already covered in green now.


虽说这已经是一个死火山
但仍需注意安全
尤其火山口附近的土质松软易散
因此应时刻走在规划好的步道上

Although the volcano is already dormant, visitors should still pay attention to the safety.  The fragile and sacred area is easily damaged thus visitors should use only the crater rim track.
